Mail-in Ballots Must be Walked in After Today

Wednesday, Oct. 31, is the last day ballots can be mailed to the Riverside County Registrar of Voters.

Election Day is next Tuesday and ballots mailed after today will not arrive in time to be counted, according to the county Registrar of Voters.

After Oct. 31, those ballots that were not mailed in should be dropped off at polling places or the Registrar's office.

The drop-off boxes can be found at participating city clerk's offices and county libraries through Monday, the day before Election Day.

To find a drop-off box near you, please click here.

Ballots also can be deposited in the 24-hour drop box outside the front entrance to the Registrar of Voters office, 2724 Gateway Drive in Riverside. 

Ballots need to be received by 8 p.m. on Nov. 6 to be counted, no matter what.

"Ballots must reach the registrar by 8 p.m. on Election Day to be counted," a press release from the registrar's office said.  "Ballots with postmarks before the deadline are not accepted and cannot be counted if they reach the registrar’s office after the 8 p.m. deadline on Tuesday."

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
