Polls, early voting trends, and vibes all point to a historic victory for Democrats this Election Day.

As we continue to do the work to deliver that victory, please mark your calendars for one or both of the Election Night Celebrations we’re co-sponsoring.

First, we’re joining Congressman Sam Liccardo, Senator Josh Becker, Assemblymember Marc Berman, and Supervisor Margaret Abe-Koga, together with the San Mateo County Democratic Party and the Democratic Volunteer, in hosting an Election Night Party at the Democratic Volunteer Center, 2450 E Charleston Rd, Mountain View, starting at 8pm. Please RSVP here to reserve your spot – it’s going to be a hot ticket!

We’re also joining our partners at the South Bay Labor Council to host an Election Night Celebration in the Great Room at their headquarters, 2302 Zanker Rd, San José.

Both events will feature food, music, and drinks, some speeches but not too many, and watching election returns with other people who care and have been doing the work together to elect great Democrats.

We hope to see you on Election Night!

Date: Sunday, October 25th
Time: 1 PM to 3 PM
Location: Coyote Ranch, 1 Coyote Ranch Rd, Coyote, CA 95013

Help support a great Democrat who works hard to get things done for us in Sacramento.  Governor Newsom signed all 13 of the 13 bills authored by Assemblymember Berman that were sent to him prior to conclusion of the 2026 legislative session, including legislation to keep our communities safe from gun violence, lower the cost of utility bills, stop the puppy mill pipeline in California once and for all, support community colleges in fighting back against Trump’s attacks on higher education, and increase election transparency.

Join us on October 24th to celebrate Marc’s birthday and his legislative successes! Questions?  Contact Helen at helen@voteberman.com.

Ballots are being mailed now. When you get your ballot, turn it around promptly. You can find all the State and Local Democratic Party endorsements for your City or District at: sccdp.org/vote

The last day to register to vote and receive a mail-in ballot is Oct. 19. After that, conditional voter registration will be available at the County Elections Office and Vote Centers through Election Day.

To sign up for the California Secretary of State’s ballot tracking service, follow THIS LINK. You will receive notifications via email and/or text when your ballot is mailed, received, and counted. This will relieve any worry or doubt that your vote has been counted.

Ballots may be dropped in any official drop box, for safe, secure, and rapid processing. To find the ballot drop box nearest you, follow THIS LINK.

Ballots may be cast at any Vote Center in Santa Clara County. To find the locations and operating hours of all the Vote Centers, follow THIS LINK.

Ballots may be cast at the County Elections Office at 1555 Berger Dr, San Jose, CA 95112, Building 2.

Ballots may be mailed, postage free, at any mailbox or Post Office. If you are mailing your ballot, be certain to get it in early. Ballots MUST be postmarked on or before Election Day, November 3rd. Ballots mailed on or just before Election Day, even at the Post Office, might not be postmarked that day.

Of course, you may vote in person at any Vote Center on Election Day, November 3rd. If there is any issue with your registration, you have the right to request a Provisional Ballot. The Registrar of Voters will make every effort to match your Provisional Ballot to your registration, so your vote can be counted.

However you choose to vote, get your ballot in early, sign up for ballot tracking, and rest assured that your vote will be counted. Be certain to sign the outside of your ballot envelope, to assure your ballot will match your registration.

The smarter political campaigns check the voter registration files frequently to see who has already voted. This saves them time and money spent contacting voters who have already voted. Once you have voted, you should receive fewer phone calls, campaign mailings, and visits to your door. If you do receive further phone calls or visits, just tell them you have already voted, and they will drop you from their list.

Please join the South Bay Democratic Coalition and other sponsoring clubs (see attached flyer) to hear from State Treasurer and CADEM endorsed candidate for Lieutenant Governor Fiona Ma in a conversation moderated by Assemblymember Patrick Ahrens and District Attorney Jeff Rosen.
