To continue to demonstrate its commitment to safe, secure and transparent elections, the Contra Costa County Elections Office kicked off its fifth class of its Certified Election Observer (CEO) Program. Fifteen community members will visit the Elections Office regularly to learn about and observe election procedures. Participants watch critical election administration activities, such as testing voting and ballot scanning equipment, checking signatures and scanning and tabulating ballots.
With so many people keeping an eye on our elections, the Elections Office celebrates the opportunity to share information with community members about election administration and procedures. Our election results are safe and secure and this program helps explain how election officials guarantee that year after year.
People who are interested in seeing for themselves can observe at the Elections Office anytime election processes are occurring Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., at regional early voting sites and at Election Day polling places. The Elections Office encourages residents to call (925) 335-7800 to find out when observable activities are scheduled.
