2022 election endorsements from transportation and safe streets groups
Ballots should have arrived by mail or should be arriving very soon, which means it's time to fight your procrastinating tendencies and vote now. If you haven't received your ballot, check to make sure your voter information is updated. If you have moved, you can update your address online. If you are not yet registered, you have until Halloween to register online, though you can register in-person at a voting center up to and including election day November 8.
You can return your ballot by mail or take it to a ballot drop box.
