Voting FAQs
How do I register to vote?
The easiest way to register is on the Secretary of State’s website. You’ll need a driver’s license or state ID card, birth date, and Social Security Number. You can also pick up a paper registration form at any public library or post office, as well as at the office of the City Clerk in Berkeley City Hall, 2180 Milvia St. The deadline for the March 5 primary is Feb. 20, but you can also register on the same day you vote if you go to an in-person voting center.
Where’s my ballot?
All registered Alameda County voters will be sent a ballot in the mail. You can track your ballot using this website. You can use the same website to track your ballot once you’ve mailed it or dropped it off.
WHERE DO I VOTE?
By mail: You can mail your ballot back to the registrar using its pre-paid postage. To count, it must be postmarked on or before Election Day.
Drop it off: Here’s a map of all the dropboxes in Alameda County. For the primary, you can do this on or before March 5.
In person: If you prefer to cast your vote in person, you can do so at any of the 100 voting centers in Alameda County. So Berkeley residents who work in Fremont can choose to vote at a center there if that’s easier.
