Voter Education Begins
to Navigate Changes for
Upcoming Election
Due to COVID-19 impacts, there
are a number of changes that voters
will experience in this year’s Presidential
Election. To help voters better
understand how, when and where to
vote, San Bernardino County Registrar
of Voters (ROV) has launched a
“Your Ballot. Vote Safe. Vote Early.”
public education campaign.
This campaign is designed to
make it easier for the county’s 1.1
million registered voters to be informed
of the changes and participate
in the voting process with an emphasis
on voting safely and early. The
good news is that every voter will
still have the opportunity to choose
how they want to vote this election
– vote-by-mail, ballot drop-off locations,
early vote sites, and polling
places will all be options.
Key components of the campaign
include:
• Education materials in multiple
languages that meet the needs of
diverse populations.
• Virtual presentations with civic,
political, community, business,
and nonprofit groups.
• Social media efforts across multiple
platforms.
• Advertising on television cable,
radio, print, online and billboards.
• Working with news outlets to get
accurate and timely information
out to voters.
