| Published October 29th, 2008 | Upcoming Election-Related Events | | | | Nov 4 - Vote! If voting by mail, your two-card ballot needs .59 postage. If you've already mailed your ballot with less, don't worry - the Contra Costa County Elections Division will pick up the difference, but warns that ballots with insufficient postage may be delayed; so if you haven't yet mailed yours, don't forget to add that extra .17 to make sure your vote counts.
