Election Results
Election results for CA will start being posted shortly after Polls close at 8 pm on Nov 5. Initial tallies will reflect approximately 1/3 of the votes cast. Updates will be posted at the end of each day at sos.ca.gov for statewide offices and those with districts extending the outside the county (congress, state senator, assembly, etc.) and at cocovote.us for districts fully within the county. Close races historically have Democratic candidates slowly gaining percentage points for several days as a result of Republicans voting earlier.
When & Where to Vote
A ballot for the Tuesday, November 5, 2024, General Election will be mailed to every registered California voter in early October. The post office cannot forward a ballot from a prior address. After moving (even next-door) one must re-register. Remember to sign the outside of the colored return envelope provided for the ballot and read all the information on the envelope.
Returning a Ballot
The last day to return the ballot is Election Day using either the US Mail or a drop box. The box nearest Rossmoor is in front of the Grace Presbyterian Church, 2100 Tice Valley Blvd. It’s available 24/7 every day until 8:00pm on Election Day. Although you can turn in a ballot at a polling place, the registrar would much prefer to receive it earlier.
Voter Information Guides
Two Voter Information Guides will arrive in September, one from the State and one from the County. These contain important details including supporters and opponents of each candidate and propositions, the dates and locations for early in-person voting, and more.
The second Voter Information Guide contains a sample ballot. This can be useful to prepare for actual voting.

Rossmoor in-person voting
Rossmoor’s polling place for in-person voting will be open on Election Day, November 5, 2024, from 7:00am until 8:00pm in the Event Center. One can register at the polls and vote the same day.
Ballot Tracking
Ballot tracking provides an optional email, text, or recorded phone message three times: When your ballot has been mailed to you; when the registrar has received it back from you; and when your vote has been counted. Many voters find this reassuring. You can sign up online at Where’s My Ballot.
