The most important thing to know is that former polling places no longer exist. They have been consolidated into 50 Vote Centers for this election.
Of those 50, 10 Vote Centers are open RIGHT NOW! 9-5 pm. At a Vote Center, you can register to vote, change your party affiliation, drop off your absentee ballot and VOTE! There are also Drop Off Centers for completed ballots.
Link to Vote Center map (for Centers open right now). Enter your address in the upper right to find Centers within 2 miles of your location. Vote Centers are blue dots, Drop off Centers are green squares and a yellow star is a Regional Center. In Chinatown, the closest full-service center would be the West Fresno Regional Center at 142 E California.
Quick tip - the Vote Centers open now ARE NOT BUSY.
The rest of the Vote Centers will be open for 4 days - three days prior and Election Day. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday (Feb 29, Mar 1-2), they will be open from 9 am - 5 pm. On Election Day (Mar 3), they will be open from 7 am - 8 pm.
Don't wait until the last minute if you plan to go to a Vote Center because the lines may be long. Find your Vote Center using you zip code here:
We ARE ALREADY experiencing serious street and sidewalk construction..
It's tough, no question about it. At our Community Meeting, both TPZP (contractors for high speed rail) and the City of Fresno assured us that we would get adequate notification. That's not happening yet, but . . .
Stay tuned to our Chinatown Road Construction Facebook page. That will have the most current information we have.
