The ‘BallotMobile: Traveling Voter Education’ Will Stop in all 24 San Bernardino County Cities and in Unincorporated Communities Leading up to the 2024 Presidential Primary Election in March
SAN BERNARDINO, CA—- The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters launched its first-ever traveling voter education pop-up, dubbed the BallotMobile: Traveling Voter Education. The BallotMobile will stop in all 24 San Bernardino County cities, plus additional unincorporated county communities, to share voter education resources with voters in their respective area.
The BallotMobile route commences on Friday, January 5, 2024, in the City of Needles and culminates on the Presidential Primary Election on March 5, 2024, at the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters’ headquarters, where a special gold ballot will be ceremonially cast. The two-month journey will play an important role in educating the county’s 1.17 million registered voters about new and important information regarding the election. BallotMobile resources include informing voters on the earlier 2024 Presidential Primary Election date, how to register to vote, how to check personalized voter information, the four ways to vote in San Bernardino County, and Primary Election-specific topics such as crossover voting.
“The election is coming up and we want to ensure that every eligible voter in our county understands how to register to vote and cast their ballot,” said San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters, Stephenie Shea. “San Bernardino County is the largest county by size in the contiguous United States. The BallotMobile will help us travel to even the farthest corners of our county to share this important information.”
The BallotMobile will deliver a two- to three-hour pop-up experience at local events and well-known locations throughout the county. Residents will receive voter education materials, resources, and giveaways, and take advantage of an Instagram-worthy backdrop for photo opportunities.
“For the 2024 Presidential Primary Election, we’re excited to visit all 24 cities and unincorporated communities in the county, meet with community members and give them the tools they need to be an informed voter,” Shea said. “The BallotMobile will go a long way in ensuring that every voter’s voice can be heard on Election Day.”
