Do you have a plan for voting this Tuesday, Nov. 5? The University of California is here to help you cast your ballot. (And speaking of that, check out your sample ballot.)

Vote by mail — even on Election Day

Voting by mail is a secure and convenient way to cast your ballot. If you’ve registered in California, you should have automatically received a vote-by-mail ballot with prepaid postage. Just fill it out, sign it and return it one of these ways:

• Put it in the mail no later than Election Day, November 5. Postage is already paid!

• Drop it off at an official mail-ballot drop box by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Find a drop location near you.

• Drop it off at any polling place before the polls close.

Vote in person

• Vote at your designated polling place on Election Day, November 5. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Polling locations may change, so double-check before you go. Find your polling place.

• Vote conditionally if need be. If you missed the October 21 online registration deadline or go to the wrong polling place, you can still cast a provisional ballot. It counts like any other once officials confirm that you’re eligible to vote.

Get inspired by UC’s student regents!

UC student Regent-designate Sonya Brooks, left, and current student Regent Josiah Beharry, right, pictured at UC Riverside, urge the UC community to vote.

On Nov. 1, UC student Regent Josiah Beharry and UC student Regent-designate Sonya Brooks wrote an open letter to their peers, with messages such as: “It is not too late to make your voice resonate for all of us. We are here to honor the legacy of those who stood in the face of impossible odds and fought to give us this day.” Read it and prepare to be inspired!
