Different county may do it differently

No need stamps?

dioworld · October 27, 2018, 12:57am

you can just go to one of those polling station to drop it off

Mi_chen · October 27, 2018, 1:04am

But anyone know if it needs to put stamp?

manch · October 27, 2018, 1:06am

In SF we don’t need to put stamps. It came with an envelope with postage already paid for. Which county are you in?

sheriff · October 27, 2018, 1:07am

I believe we had to put stamps on them in San Jose. I know in Chula Vista we do.

Mi_chen · October 27, 2018, 1:12am

Contra costa county

BAGB · October 27, 2018, 2:32am

You should look at the envelope. It should say postage paid or postage needed on the upper right corner. Each county is different. I guess Contra Costa May require postage since Contra Costa is not known for high taxes

Alameda county needs postage.

sfdragonboy · October 27, 2018, 4:50am

We special in the Fab 7x7…no postage needed!!!

harriet · October 27, 2018, 4:54am

Uh…it’s free in San Mateo county too, hence why I thought it was free for everybody because I’ve only lived in SF and San Mateo county…

BAGB · October 27, 2018, 6:25am

We are all biased in one way or another. Postage issue is a clear example

Mi_chen · October 27, 2018, 6:19pm

It’s my first time to vote, so a lot of things not very clear to me. But I found no need to put stamp and usps will deliver the ballot no mater what

Only if the voter is a Democrat

It’s free in Santa Clara county as well I believe… at least it was free for me in San Jose and Cupertino

manch · October 27, 2018, 6:45pm

Requiring postage is a good way to screen out poor people from voting. Did not know even California uses this trick.

sheriff · October 28, 2018, 12:01am

You can always vote at the polls on election day for free. I don’t know if you were kidding with that remark or not.

Elt1 · October 28, 2018, 12:06am

People that think their vote isn’t worth a 50 cent stamp should not vote. In Tahoe everyone votes by mail. I don’t even know if there is a polling station.

sfdragonboy · October 28, 2018, 12:09am

I am pretty sure there is a polling station by you. That would be un American…

manch · October 28, 2018, 12:19am

Actually I am not kidding. Voting day is Tuesday, many poor people simply don’t have the flexibility in work schedule to vote when there are few people at the polls. After work everybody is busy making dinners, caring for kids etc. Do they have separate line to just drop off the ballots?

I don’t know how anyone can finish 4 long double sided ballots while standing at the polling station. It took me a few hours to finish mine. The school board election is the most crazy. We are supposed to choose 3 from 10+ candidates.
