Over the past 2 days, a total of 6,301 Vote by Mail ballots were mailed to our community members, thanks to the City's Election volunteers and Clerks office!

In the words of our City Clerk, Kristin Foote, "The efforts to kit, re-kit, label, postage and deliver to the post office were amazing."

Thank you to our hardworking volunteers and staff for helping our residents exercise their right to vote!
