If you have already voted, ballots can be tracked at WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov and one can receive an e-mail, text, or voice call notification for the receipt of the ballot and whether it has been accepted and/or counted.
Beginning Oct. 31 through and including November 3, there will be 100 accessible vote locations available to vote in person and 66 drop boxes distributed to collect absentee ballots throughout Alameda County, according to Alameda County Registrar of Voters Tim Dupuis.
The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum is the largest voting location and is open for in-person voting and curbside voting, and is equipped with ballot drop boxes. Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on October 31 through November 2 and 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3.

You can also get assistance with voting and help with lost or damaged ballots at the Coliseum.
Masks will also be provided at the location.
