While each county in California conducts its own elections, we are excited that voters who choose not to mail their ballot in, can use a Sacramento County Department of Voter Registration and Elections Ballot Drop Box that will be located at the front entrance of the Welcome Center (located next to Parking Structure 5).

The drop box will be available during normal business hours through Election Day on November 5, 2024.
