May 8th Election Day – Voters - Get Your Ballots In!

Election Results available online at 8:05pm

(Redwood City) –San Mateo County Chief Elections Officer Warren Slocum in a reminder to voters in the Pacifica School District and the Millbrae Elementary School District said, “If you haven’t mailed your ballot back to the Elections Office today, you might want to drop it off at the drop-off locations in your community.” He added, “Voted ballots must be received by the Elections Office by 8:00 pm on May 8th or the ballots cannot be legally counted.”

Ballot drop-off locations for Pacifica School District voters are available at the Pacifica Library located at 1111 Terra Nova Blvd (during regular library hours) and Pacifica City Hall located at 170 Santa Maria Avenue (during regular business hours) through May 8th.

Ballot drop-off locations for Millbrae Elementary School District voters are available at Millbrae City Hall, located at 621 Magnolia, (during regular business hours) and the Millbrae Library, located at 1 Library Avenue, (during regular library hours) through May 8th.

Election Office drop-off location and Election Day voting, too. “Voters from either school district may drop off their voted ballot at the Elections Office during regular business hours—8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday — at 40 Tower Road in San Mateo. As required by law, voters may cast a ballot in person using the County’s new ADA accessible electronic voting machines during this time. The office will also be open for voting on Election Day starting at 7:00 am and ending at 8:00 pm.”

There will not be any polling locations open for voting on Election Day. Voters received their election materials and their ballot in the mail on or about April 9th to participate in the May 8th Special Election.

“We’re hoping that some voters will like the convenience of voting by mail and decide to become Permanent Absentee Voters as the result of this experience,” Slocum added.

Election Results: Voters may go online to www.shapethefuture.org to find out the results of the election. The first returns will be posted at 8:05 pm; a second update (and most likely, the final update) will be issued at about 9:00 pm. Election results issued on election night are semi-official; official results are issued once the Official Canvass is completed following an election.
