PUBLIC NOTICE: Yolo County Releases Amended Draft Election Administration Plan 14-Day Public Comment Period Begins

Monday, January 31, 2022

The Yolo County Elections Office is working on fully transitioning to the model of conducting elections under the California Voter’s Choice Act (VCA). The Election Administration Plan (EAP) provides information about vote-by-mail (VBM) voting, Vote Centers, Ballot Drop Box locations and the technology that will be used.

Following initial public consultation meetings that were held on December 13, 2021, an initial draft EAP was issued on January 10, 2022. After releasing the initial draft EAP, there was a 14-day public comment period followed by a public hearing on January 26, 2022.

The Yolo County Elections Office has incorporated community feedback and has released an amended draft EAP. The amended draft EAP is available for public viewing on our Voter’s Choice Act webpage: https://www.yoloelections.org/voters-choice-act. The amended EAP will be available in Chinese, Korean, Punjabi, Russian, and Spanish beginning Friday, February 4, 2022.

Public comment on the amended draft EAP may be submitted over a 14-day public comment period (until Monday, February 14, 2022). Following this public comment period will be the adoption of the Yolo County EAP. After adoption, Yolo County Elections will submit the EAP to the Secretary of State for approval.

Submittals of public comment are available via email ([email protected]), on our website’s public comment page (https://www.yoloelections.org/voters-choice-act/contact) or by mail to: Yolo County Elections, 625 Court Street, Room B-05, Woodland, CA 95695.  Please submit all public comments no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday, February 14, 2022.
