Voter’s Choice Act (VCA) Educational Workshop
This workshop will help Marin County voters understand new services under the Voter’s Choice Act
Marin County Elections Department is holding this public workshop to educate voters in advance of the June 7, 2022, primary election about changes coming with the Voter’s Choice Act. The Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution in May of 2021 confirming plans to implement the Voter’s Choice Act (VCA, Senate Bill 450).
One primary change under VCA is a switch from Election Day polling places to multi-day, regional vote centers at spots around the county. The other change is that every active registered voter will automatically be mailed a vote-by-mail ballot packet starting 29 days before an election—a change most Marin County voters will not notice due to the high rate of vote-by-mail voters, now more than 80%.
This educational workshop will give voters an opportunity to learn about changes well in advance of the election. The schedule of workshops includes one virtual workshop and our in-person workshops. Language services will be available as noted in the schedule below. The general public is welcome to attend any and all workshops.
