The San Luis Obispo County Office of the Clerk-Recorder released hints for voters on Election Day.
Their tips are:

- Make sure the identification envelope is signed before the ballot is returned.
- Make sure the vote-by-mail ballot is postmarked on or before election day and received three days before the election for it to be counted.
- If dropping off your vote-by-mail ballot in the mail on election day get a “circle date stamp” on your envelope on the mail counter.
- Any vote-by-mail ballots must be received at a polling location by 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Check your polling place location:
- Polling place location is on the back of your sample ballot or on a yellow notification card if you registered to vote after Oct. 8.
