Registrar of Voters seeking polling locations

Solano County – The Solano County Registrar of Voters is looking for
businesses, churches, and community centers will¬ing to open their place
for voters to cast their ballot in the upcoming presidential primary
election on June 5.

Polling locations are needed in all cities in Solano County.
“In the past several years we have lost numerous polling place options,
and others are not avail¬able this June,” said As¬sistant Registrar of
Voters Lindsey McWil¬liams.

The consolidation of stu¬dents to fewer campuses and the closing of
school sites have further reduced county polling place options, he said.
Potential polling loca¬tions must meet federal and state accessibility
standards. Registrar of Voters staff will survey sites to confirm
accessibility or determine whether they can be made accessible for a
polling place. A polling place typically is 900 square feet (30 feet by
30 feet) or larger.

The poll workers will need access to the facility on Election Day from
approximately 6 a.m. un¬til all precinct accounting is complete after the
close of the polls, which is generally complete by 9:30 p.m. The
facility also needs to be available prior to the election for the delivery of election supplies. The Registrar provides up to $50 for the use of the facility for the
day. People interested in hosting a polling location should contact the
Registrar of Voters office at 784-6675 or email
