 | | | Bigstockphoto | | | | | | We've got mail! In the weeks leading up to an election, Lamorinda Weekly receives more Letters to the Editor than the previous six months combined. We publish as many as we can - read what your friends and neighbors have to say about the candidates on pages A8-A10.
The Moraga Citizens Network Candidates Night forum is still available for viewing at www.lamorindaweekly.com and www.moragacitizensnetwork.org. In our last issue before Election Day, Laurie Snyder continues her report on the candidates for Orinda City Council on pages A6-A7.
Your vote is your voice - and with the majority of Lamorindans voting by mail, the City of Orinda is partnering with the Contra Costa County Elections Office in a new initiative to make it even easier to ensure your vote counts, especially for those who prefer to wait until the last minute to complete their mail-in ballots.
Through Nov. 4, county residents who are registered to vote-by-mail (or absentee) may place their ballots in a secure, red steel ballot box at the office of the city clerk at Orinda City Hall, 22 Orinda Way, from Monday through Friday during normal business hours as part of the CoCo Vote-N-Go program.
Ballots may also be dropped off from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the County Elections Office in Martinez, located at 555 Escobar Street, or at any polling place on Election Day. For more information, contact Orinda city clerk Michele Olsen: (925) 253-4221, molsen@cityoforinda.org, or visit the County Elections website at www.cocovote.us.
