Make Your Voice Heard on November 3
The statewide general election is Tuesday, November 3. San Mateo County has delivered vote-by-mail ballots, and the deadline to register or update your voter information was Monday, October 19. If you miss that date, you can still register and vote in person at a county vote center through Election Day. Visit the SMCCCD Register to Vote site to register, check your status, and find other voting resources. This year’s San Mateo County ballot includes Measure V, a bond measure placed on the ballot by the San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees. To learn what the measure includes and how it would be used, visit smccd.edu/futurefunding. You can return completed ballots at an official ballot drop box at any of the three campuses through 8 p.m. on Election Day. Drop boxes are available at Cañada College in Parking Lot 4, College of San Mateo in Parking Lot A, and Skyline College in the median by Parking Lot N.
