Civic Engagement and Voter Empowerment

At Gavilan College, we value nurturing democratic citizenship in our students. Community College student voices impact our national, state and local elections. We provide nonpartisan voter engagement information and events to help students get more involved in our democracy.

How to Vote

County elections officials mail ballots to all active registered voters about a month before the election. You choose whether to vote in person at your voting location or return the ballot you received either by mail or by dropping it off.

  • By Mail: If you wish to use the mailed ballot instead of voting in person, fill it out and mail it back early so that it is postmarked no later than Election Day. You do not need a stamp to mail back your ballot in the return envelope provided.

  • Dropoff: You may drop off your ballot at any voting location in your county. Your county will also open secure ballot drop-off locations starting about a month before Election Day.

  • In Person: For voting in person on Election Day, the polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm.
