Early Voting Locations

Elections office: Starting 29 days before every election, vote by mail ballots are available at the elections office at 1021 “I” Street, Modesto, across from the Gallo Center. Regular office hours are 8-4 weekdays. The elections office is not a vote center, so there is no ballot scanner. Mail ballots may be voted and placed in an authorized ballot drop box at the office or taken home to be voted and returned by mail or a ballot drop box.

Vote centers: Early voting locations called vote centers are located throughout the county in a countywide election. Any voter can go to any vote center in the county. They all have accessible voting equipment and ballot scanners.

    At vote centers, voters can:

  • Get a replacement mail ballot
  • Get a replacement mail ballot for someone else if that person has completed and signed a ballot pickup form available on stanvote.gov or at the vote center
  • Drop off a voted mail ballot
  • Get a ballot at the vote center and vote in person, placing the ballot in a scanner
  • Use an accessible ballot marking device
  • Request a facsimile ballot for language assistance in Syriac (Assyrian), Khmer or Punjabi
  • Register for the first time or update their registration
  • Get a replacement envelope
  • Turn in a ballot cure form if the voter’s signature was challenged or missing
  • Review a local or state voter guide

Some vote centers are open 10 days before election day and others are open four days before Election Day, including weekends and holidays. Check your voter guide for a list of vote centers and their hours.
