Well were now just 15 days away from the november election and today is the last day to register to vote here in california. You can register online or by mail before the deadline expires kron fours will tran is in san mateo with the latest on the details. Hi well. Good morning. Daryn im at the registrar voters in San Mateo County a lot of people coming in right now to drop off. Their mail in ballots, though if you want to do a mail in ballot, yourself and drop it in your post box thing you dont have to come here. But you what you have to do is register before midnight tonight so the clock is taking on use so many people turning to mail in ballots and not doing it personally like what we saw in years past because of covid19 registration is sky high. In fact you could do it from the comfort of your own home this morning heres how you do it you go to the voter registrar a restaurant voters go there to that web site and then you can register so long as youre 18 years old that you have a valid drivers license youre us citizen you dont. Youre not in prison at this time that is important they want to make sure that your valid youre clear that way you can vote online if you dont want to do it online you can just send in your physical voter registration, but you have to make sure that it is postmark that way they can get it that youre ready to go come november, 3rd and of course if you dont want to do that online and do it in mail in ballot. You can walk in personally on the day of election get everything squared away and then you can vote at the polls we got a chance to talk to some voters over the weekend. They say they are loving this mail in ballots. So much is on the ballot this time this is my has our ability areas on the ballot. Health care is on the ballot. Economy is on the ballot race and ability to tell them in a country where we can be open in all included is on about i mean normally in the past have been a little more comfortable with mailing bed. I decided to drop it off this time around to the a 100 sure of the vote was going to be properly counted. And the good part is you cant track your ballot online just using your numbers go to that voter registrar of registered voters i should say and then track to see if its all the way through take a look at your screen right now how popular mail in ballots. Look at this total 3 million. So far and we just talking in californias early voting people are turning out theyre not waiting till november, 3rd the Democrat Ballot return. 1. 7 million and that just eclipses the republican ballots returned at a little over 680,000 sir almost 3 times more democrats than republicans and the ballots with no party affiliation. 600 35,000 we are here the registrar of voters we will see if we can talk to some of the people who run this and well see if we can talk to some voters. Its all about covid19 of course so many people would rather do it that way plus lets face it. The elections have been on peoples minds for about the past 4 years and they believe this could be the most important election of their lifetime which is why we are seeing early turnouts into the millions not just in california. But in the bay area. All right. Thank you very much well one question that weve gotten more than once this election season is what do i do if i get to balance in the mail. Election Officials Say it does happen some people get a duplicate mail in ballot. If that happens usually the case is that somebody has moved or re register to vote through the dmv but one Santa Clara County voter told us that neither of those apply to him but he still got 2 ballots 10 days apart from each other. Anything is a sunni who got to do to get better as my life just got lot. The other thing is in the in next over and Facebook Accounts people talking about not getting the benefits. So you know all this leads to a lot of confusion on the one hand people not getting the ballots and on the other hand youre getting do to get some this is confusing rated least one i should use actually willing to use the one that doing is the second one to assemble so many open questions. Theres no question you do not send gulf what you do is send the most recent one and vote with that one and then the other one just completely destroyed that you can shred it yourself or you can turn it in at the polling place attempting to vote more than once is illegal. Its considered a felony in many states for all the information need before you vote where to drop your ballot off you can visit our website at kron 4 dot com.
