About the Election & the Term:

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order requiring county elections officials to mail a ballot to every registered voter in Senate District 28 for the May 12, 2020 Special General Elections. The County will start mailing ballots on April 13th, with the required May 12th election deadline.

Everyone will need to vote by mail due to the current pandemic guidelines to “shelter at home,” helping protect ourselves and others in the community against COVID-19.

The winner of the May 12th election will serve the remainder of the current, vacated term, which runs through 2022.

THANK YOU!
