Have a Safe Thanksgiving

We all have coronavirus fatigue. Please power through and continue to make responsible choices regarding mask wearing and physical distancing, so that we can get through this challenging time as safely as possible.

Covid cases are rising in Lake County and hospitals are becoming overwhelmed. According to the Centers for Disease Control, “Travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.” It’s very hard to tell your adult children and those in college not to come home for the holiday, but that may be safest for everyone.

Returning Your Ballot

If you have requested a mail-in ballot and have not yet returned it, you should deposit it in a secure ballot drop box (find locations and hours here). If you’d prefer to vote in person, you may surrender the mail-in ballot and certification envelope to the check-in judge on Election Day and get a new ballot to vote right then and there. While you may still mail in the ballot, it may not be received in time at this point to be counted.
