Local measures in Plumas County include Bond Measure B for Seneca Healthcare District, and voters in Portola will vote for two of the three candidates running for City council.
County election offices remind you that you do not have to wait until election night to cast your vote. You can drop off your ballot at any location throughout the county early.
In Lassen, there are six drop box locations found at the County Government Center on Riverside, Westwood One Stop, Big Valley One Stop, Janesville Fire hall, the Historic Courthouse, and Doyle Senior Center. There will also be six polling locations as well come election night.
