San Ramon Mayor Bill Clarkson has hit his term limit.

Elections officials described a peaceful and efficient day at the polls Tuesday, as Election Day 2020 has progressed smoothly in the Bay Area's nine counties.

By 3 p.m., counties reported few lines and no real problems at polling places.

"No reports of lines (and a) steady stream of voters," said Scott Konopasek, the assistant registrar of voters in Contra Costa County, who added about 22,500 people have voted on Election Day. "We would have expected 100,000 by now in the past," he said. "Things always pick up the last three hours of the day."

Konopasek's county received more than 420,000 early ballots, as of Monday.

Turnout for in-person voting is down, thanks to the massive push for early and mail-in voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The night before Election Day, more than 2.7 million Bay Area voters had already cast ballots. Statewide, more than 11.2 million of California's more than 21 million registered voters had already voted. Nationwide, the number was approaching 100 million by Monday evening - almost 70% of the 136.5 million people who voted in 2016.
