Where's My Polling Place?

Don't know where to vote today? We've got the official answer if you live in El Cerrito, Kensington or anywhere else in Contra Costa County. (Warning: some election mailers contain wrong polling place locations.)

Today, Nov. 6, is election day in California. Do you know where to vote?

Polling places move around. If you don't know where yours is and if you live in Contra Costa County, the county elections division has a website where you can plug in your address and find the answer:

http://www.cocovote.us/PrecinctFinder.aspx.

Make sure you use the official listing from the county elections division, provided on the website or on the election notice mailed to your home. Some "Democratic" election mailers with endorsements sent out by a private firm list an incorrect polling place for the household that the mailer was sent to.

If you have a mail-in ballot that you didn't mail, you can drop it off at any polling place.

And tonight after the polls close at 8 p.m., El Cerrito Patch will carry up-to-minute results of the elections. We'll have one article for local contests – including the school board race for West Contra Costa Unified School District, school revenue Measures E and G, and the race for the board of the Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District.

And we'll have another article for national and state contests, including the California ballot propositions.

For more details about local contests in El Cerrito and Kensington, see the El Cerrito Patch Election Guide. And for election-related articles from El Cerrito Patch, including letters to the editor and guest columns, check the Elections section of our website.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Was that what i heard in the middle of the night on Wednesday? I thought i was dreaming. It soundedRead More like some sort of loudspeaker.

Gee...are you SURE that alarm IS coming from Portola Middle School? Um...I suppose that you ARERead More sure! Yes...it IS turbo-annoying but I had assumed that it was some stupid car alarm.

Good thought, Julian.

I've spoken with him, he is educated, intelligent and articulate. He is also angry and sometimesRead More irrational. I dont know his story but his "street art" stands on its own legs. If you would like to help him, and yourself, buy and enjoy his art.

A neighbor of mine on Colusa tried to give him food when he was on Colusa, but he refused, so IRead More never tried. Dorothy, is that the shelter near the Berkeley Historical Society/Veteran's Building? Perhaps he would need a ride to it. Perhaps he's concerned about leaving his things there if he can't be there during the day. I'm afraid I don't know enough about it.

I did mention that I'm donating 10% of my royalties for "Midnight" to the EC's Open SpaceRead More fund, didn't I? I'm a Down-home Ten Percenter.

Lucy, I like the idea in principal, but in reality I think it would just give ECPD more work to do.Read More "People hanging out" doesn't necessarily translate to a friendly,fun-filled, folksy kind of environment. It *can* mean quite the reverse. "Midnight On the Ohlone" sounds like a new recording. Something like "I left my little babeeeeee, down by the tracks....and now I want her back....she's a needle in the haaaaaaay staaaaack...' Arhoolie awaits.

What a great idea for pocket parks!!! I am all for them. Instead of spening a big amount on oneRead More (which we don't have space anyway), I would like to see many mini parks of $20,000 along the Bart tracks. With more visibility and people hanging out, it would make Bart paths safer too, especially the one around fairmont park. Really mini pocket parks just needs some play structures, benches and tables there.
