Every registered voter in the state of California is supposed to get a ballot mailed to them to vote in the election November 3. Voters can return the ballot by mail, or they can drop it off at a poll location, or at city or town hall or at their library. Managing editor Tami Roleff says the COVID pandemic is forcing changes to how people vote this year…
The majority of voters will be using a vote-by-mail option this year and so the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters has worked to secure county-wide polling places for this election. Due to COVID-19, many of the polling places used in past elections are not available. To address the loss of about half of the facilities, polling places used in this election will be open for four days: Saturday, October 31 through Tuesday, November 3.
Prior to finalizing polling place assignments for the 2020 election, the Registrar of Voters has prepared a proposed list of polling places and a map of these locations. The public may review and make comments on the proposed locations through September 11.

The Registrar of Voters will consider all written public comments received by 5 p.m. on September 11, 2020, and adjust the polling places to the extent deemed appropriate before finalizing the polling place assignments.
