Election Day is Approaching

The 2024 General Election is fast approaching! Here's what you need to know:

Voting & Ballots

Marin County has recently transitioned to the Vote Center model, which means there are no longer assigned "polling places". Marin County voters may now vote in person at any Vote Center throughout the County, and all registered voters will automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot.

Tiburon's closest Vote Center is at Westminster Presbyterian Church (240 Tiburon Boulevard) and will be open for voting November 2 - November 4 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on November 5 (Election Day) from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Ballots were mailed by the Marin County Elections Department last week. Voters may drop their ballots at the post office, in a post office mailbox, or in any Ballot Dropbox throughout the County.

Tiburon's closest Ballot Dropbox is at Belvedere City Hall (450 San Rafael Avenue) on the lower level near the Community Center. Ballot drop boxes opened October 8. You can vote today!

Political Signs

According to Tiburon's Municipal Code, single-family and two-family homes can display signs that are up to 8 square feet. However, during elections (45 days before and 5 days after), this can increase to 16 square feet for non-commercial messages.

Signs must have the owner's permission, stay below roof height, and can be placed on walls, fences, or windows-but not on trees or plants. No lighting is allowed. Political signs are not permitted in the right-of-way.
