On Tuesday, Nov. 15, the city of Oakland will hold a special vote by mail election.

There will be no polling places, so registered voters must sign the back of the Vote by Mail return envelope once they received their ballot in the mail. If the back of the envelope is not signed, then your vote will not count. No postage is required to mail the ballot.
