Summary
The Commission approved relocating the county’s Early Voting site to the South Berkeley Fire Station at 7556 Winchester Avenue for improved access and parking and voted to continue the Emergency Absentee Voting Policy for hospitalized/incapacitated voters.
Voter Registration Director Joy Shrek presented final materials for relocating the county’s Early Voting site from the Pikeside Substation to the South Berkeley Fire Station at 7556 Winchester Avenue, stating the new site provides improved access and parking and that security camera concerns are being addressed.
