As California voters join the Super Tuesday primaries this year, election officials are watching to see how turnout compares to previous presidential primary years.
Polling stations and voting centers are scheduled to be open at 7 a.m. Tuesday and mail-in ballots can be dropped off at polling places, official drop-box locations, or postmarked by 8 p.m., when polling stations close, and mailed through the United States Postal Service.San Francisco Director of Elections John Arntz says that on Monday morning, turnout was 17%. While that number is low compared to a regular election, Arntz said it isn't too far off from the 2020 presidential primary year.
"I knocked on doors today to say have you voted? Wanted to make sure my neighbors go and vote," Michael Petrelis, a San Francisco voter, said.In Oakland, outside the Alameda County elections office, workers greeted voters at a drive-through drop-off. "We have drop boxes, they can put it in the mail, they can drop it off at one of these drop stops. "We've been open at our voting centers since last Saturday," Tim Dupuis, Registrar of Voters for Alameda County, said.
