LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lake County Registrar of Voters Office will begin processing vote-by-mail – or absentee – ballots this week.
The ballots – which were mailed out last week from Santa Ana – were expected to arrive at mailboxes within a few days of the mailing, according to Registrar of Voters Diane Fridley.
Fridley and her staff will begin processing completed ballots that have been returned to her office – located in Room 209 on the second floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St. in Lakeport – at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
The processing of the vote-by-mail voter ballots will continue through Election Day as well as during the official canvass, which Fridley said begins at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, and will continue daily – excluding weekends and holidays – until completed.
Observers are invited to view the processing and counting of the ballots, but shall not interfere with the election process, Fridley said.
Fridley said any registered voter who would like to be issued an official vote-by-mail ballot in lieu of voting at his or her polling place may either appear in person at the Registrar of Voters Office to be issued a ballot or personally phone the office at 707-263-2372 to request an absentee ballot by mail.
