Oakland, Alameda County Ballot Drop Box Locations, Nov. 2020

OAKLAND, CA — California is conducting a 100 percent mail-in ballot for the November 2020 election, by order of Gov. Gavin Newsom, because of coronavirus.

Slowdowns at the US Postal Service have put some voters on edge, concerned that their ballot will not arrive in time to be counted. The situation was further complicated when the Republican party placed unauthorized ballot drop boxes in Orange County.
