Voter Resources
The Black Action Alliance wants to make sure that voters are informed about the latest elections, issues and candidates that impact the Black community in the East Bay.
Make sure that your voice is heard. The voter registration deadline is always 15 days before an election, but please be advised that voters who register after the 29th day before an election may not receive a sample ballot due to the short turn-around time for mailing. Register online here.
On April 15, 2025, Oakland will hold a special election to determine the next mayor, D2 council member as well as vote on a number of citywide ballot measures. Learn more about the candidates and issues.
Ranked-Choice Voting allows voters to rank a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth choice candidate for a single office. This makes it possible to elect local officials by majority vote without the need for a separate run-off election. Voters in Albany, Berkeley, Oakland and San Leandro use Ranked-Choice Voting to elect most local officials. Learn more about ranked choice at the Alameda County elections website.
