This is that time.

This week’s district election employees are Postal newsletters of registered voters in California in preparation for the special election next month. This, of course, is just one part of California’s preparation for election.

Election officials take a lot of care to ensure that every step of the voters are safe and the newsletters are sure. Californians can rely on our elections. That has not changed.

What has changed is the volume of Fake election statements Exit the federal government. The noise is that the Californians should ignore when near November 4.

Against the background of today’s polarized environment and political violence reports, it is important for voters to know that Federal law Protects all voters from intimidating voters. In addition, voters can be confident in Strong State Laws Here, in California, which protect against intimidation, whether in a drop of box or in a selective place.

A law of California – The Law on the Protection of Election by the Act on Armed Force and Extremism – Bans intimidation and threats against voters and election staff. It also allows voters and elections to judge those who participate in such tactics. And the Law of Peace that last year last year with the support of Both sides of the pathHe tells the jurors who weigh these lawsuits to assume that wearing weapons where elections are being held is intimidation.

Due to these strong laws and the work of local and civil servants of the election, I expect November 4 to be another direct, peaceful election day. For voters, have a vote plan and Knowing who to call in case any problems arise It can do things even more hungry.

As for the vote, the voters in California have a few optionsS The newsletters that come out this week are one choice. Voter can return a vote by sending it back to the address using the pre -addressed voting bag or by putting it in an official drop. Drop boxes are often placed in government buildings, schools or county libraries. It is usually a good idea for voters to return a vote well before the deadline and register Voting To know when a vote was received and processed.

Or you can throw the newsletter in person. For districts where voting centers are available, many centers open as early as October 25 and are available during election day. Some counties also allow early vote in the Election Office earlier in October before opening the voting centers. Counties that have no voting centers allow early voting or early voting to be dropped into elections and additional places while providing local electoral places on the day of the election.

As part of a voting plan, Californians must make sure they have access to the website or telephone number for their The service of the local election position or Secretary of StateS They are the most reliable sources of information about places and hours, registering for voting and Other questions regarding the voteS It is important to seek information from reputable sources so that you get the right guidance and you will not be susceptible to misinformation.

This helps to reduce the spread of false voting and election ideas.

The country is in a moment unlike anyone else in our history. The Federal Government is I try to undermine Public confidence in our elections and the ability of states to keep them free and fair. But this effort is not related to reality: California election staff, and the other 49 countries take over many steps to hold safe, safe and accurate elections.

Thanks to the federal law and the strong state laws that defend voters and the election process, Californians must make plans to vote for the full -confidence special election that their newsletters will be reported.
