ELECTION CHANGES DUE TO COVID-19Recognizing the threat COVID-19 continues to pose to public health, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Executive Orders N-64-20 and N-67-20 and the State of California chaptered Assembly Bill 860 and Senate Bill 423, which make changes to the November 3, 2020 General Election. This election will be different in several ways.

What has changed?

Vote by Mail ballots will be mailed to all active registered voters in California.

• To minimize risk of exposure to COVID-19, we strongly encourage voters to use the ballot mailed to them and return their voted ballot at a secure ballot drop box starting 28 days before the Election or by mail.

More Ballot Drop Boxes will be located throughout the County to provide voters additional no-contact locations to return ballots directly to our office.

Remote Accessible Vote by Mail Voting option is available to all registered voters.

In-Person Voting at Polling Places will be available beginning Saturday, October 31 – Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

• Precincts and polling places are being heavily consolidated, so there will be approximately 50 fewer in-person voting locations.

Vote Early! Long Lines will occur at Polling Places on Election Day if voters wait to vote. If you need to vote in-person, you have 28 days before the election to vote and return your ballot. Either at our offices starting October 5, or at your Polling Place starting October 31.

You will find more information on the Election in this guide or by visiting our website at http://www.sbcvote.com.

FP-09-G-ENG Page 7

Find your polling place on the back cover of this guide or call the County Elections Office at 1-800-SBC-VOTE or 1-800-722-8683.

The Elections Office has attempted to locate Polling Places that are accessible to all voters; however, in some cases we need to use a location that didn’t meet all the accessibility requirements. Because of this fact, we are offering curbside voting at all our Election Offices and Polling Places. We have also

identified why a polling place was considered inaccessible on the List of Polling Places contained in this guide. This will help you determine if it is inaccessible to you.

What do I do once I am inside the Polling Place? 1. You will be asked to provide your name and address and if you will need any assistance. 2. You will then be asked to sign the Official Roster Label containing your information. 3. You will then be provided your ballot. Please make sure your ballot matches the Sample Ballot in this guide

and follow the instructions on the ballot. 4. Vote your ballot at one of the voting booths and use the disposable secrecy sleeve to cover your vote

choices. Then take it to the clerk near the ballot box who will ask you to deposit your ballot in the ballot box.

What to do if… You received a vote by mail ballot and want to vote at your polling place:

• Take your ballot you received in the mail to the polling place and give it to the check-in clerk; or

• If you do not have your ballot to turn in, the check-in clerk will see if a valid ballot has been cast by you. If not, you will be issued a ‘live’ ballot to vote. If we are unable to sufficiently determine that a ballot hasn’t already been cast by you, you will be issued a provisional ballot which will be counted as long as you haven’t already voted in this election.

You changed your name and did not reregister: 1. Let the check-in clerk know. They will give you a new voter registration card to complete. 2. You will need to sign your new and old name on the Official Roster Label.

You didn’t provide your California driver’s license number when you mailed in your voter registration and you are voting for the first time: You will be asked to show a form of identification when you go to vote at the polling place. There are 30 forms of identification that can be used. To see a list of accepted forms visit https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/hava-id-standards/. You are at the wrong polling place location or you are listed at a different address:

• You will be given a form to complete to update your address. • If you are at the wrong polling place, you will be given the option to go to your correct polling place or to use

the ImageCast X® (ICX) ballot marking device. • If you don’t want to vote using the ICX ballot marking device, you have the option to vote provisionally using

that precinct’s ballot. Only the contests you are eligible to vote on will be counted.

You need assistance marking your ballot: • You may ask to use the ImageCast® X (ICX) ballot marking device to vote independently. • You are allowed to bring up two (2) people to assist you with marking your ballot. • Assistance CANNOT be provided by your employer or an officer or agent of a union you are a member of. • Tell the check-in clerk that you need assistance voting your ballot. A Poll Worker is able to assist if needed. • You and your assistant(s) will be asked to complete the Assisted Voter form of the Official Roster.

Vote Safe! Vote Early! Vote By Mail!

Dear Voter:

Pursuant to the Governors Executive Order, all California voters will be delivered a ballot in the mail for the November 3rd Presidential General Election!

California Elections Officials are conducting the State’s first all-mail ballot election. For Santa Barbara County, this means there will be approximately 230,000 ballots mailed to voters a month before the November 3rd election!

Voting is easy – we have created several options for you to cast your ballot and ensure that your vote is counted. The most important thing to remember is to avoid long lines and vote early!

Options for voting:

• IN PERSON VOTING LOCATIONS: If you don’t have your mail ballot, we will have 35 in-person voting locations set up across the county for you to get a replacement ballot beginning Saturday, October 31 (Boo!) through Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2020. You can also register to vote and cast a ballot at any one of these polling locations. But don’t wait until the last minute! Avoid long lines and vote early!

• VOTE BY MAIL: Have your local postal carrier deliver your ballot to County Elections. But remember there are 230,000 ballots to be returned. Vote Early! Give your postal workers time to return your ballot by putting your ballot in the mail at least seven days prior to Election Day. Blue postal boxes are always recommended. No postage required!

• COUNTY ELECTIONS DROP BOX: Secure Ballot Drop Boxes are strategically placed throughout the county. Ballots must be deposited in the Ballot Drop Box no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day November 3, 2020. But don’t wait – Vote Early!

• DROP OFF YOUR BALLOT: Your ballot can be returned at one of our three County elections offices located in Lompoc, Santa Barbara and Santa Maria. These offices are open 29 days prior to Election Day.

Lompoc Santa Barbara Santa Maria 401 E. Cypress Ave., Room 102 Relocating on 10/22 to the Lompoc Veterans’ Memorial Building at 100 E. Locust Avenue

4440-A Calle Real 511 E. Lakeside Parkway

If you haven’t received your ballot by October 14th, visit www.sbcvote.com or call 1-800-SBC-VOTE (1-800-722-8683).

VOTE SAFELY & EARLY at Polling Place Locations

Polling Places in Santa Barbara County will be available for three days prior to and on Election Day, November 3, 2020. Each Polling Place location will offer:

• Obtaining a replacement ballot;

• Returning the vote by mail ballot mailed to you;

• Voting on an accessible voting machine;

• Language assistance;

• Registering and voting on the same day. You can help keep voting locations safe for voters and election workers in these three ways:

Locate your Assigned Polling Place Location. Voters have been assigned to a specific Polling Place to help reduce the number of voters going to any one location. Your assigned Polling Place is printed on the back cover of this guide. There are certain areas throughout the county that do not have a Polling Place location due to low voter population. These voters are required to vote by mail.

Avoid Long Lines. Vote early. If you visit your Polling Place location in person, go before Election Day to help with physical distancing. We especially encourage older adults and people with underlying medical conditions to avoid long lines and crowded Polling Places by voting early. Follow safety procedures. Protect your health and the health of other voters and election workers at Polling Place locations by wearing a mask, washing/sanitizing hands, keeping 6-foot social distance from other people, and bring your own ballpoint pen to sign in and use while voting.

Things to be aware of before going to either an Election Office or Polling Place: • Voters arriving without a mask will be provided one or may need to vote in a designated

location;

• Voters will be asked to follow safety protocols such as maintaining 6-foot social distancing, use hand sanitizer, follow the direction of the clerks there to assist voters.

• Lines will be formed outside the location (regardless of weather conditions) with voters allowed to enter as space is available.

Expect long lines and wait times due to the limited number of voters allowed into a location at a time and the safety protocols we will be following. Additionally, the number of Polling Places available has been reduced by more than 50 locations, with precinct sizes as large as 10,000 voters.

STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR United States Representative in Congress,

24th District ANDY CALDWELL Age: 62 Occupation: Government Watchdog

Education and Qualifications: America is the land of freedom, liberty, and opportunity, but it is under attack. I will work to restore and preserve our freedom, rebuild our economy, protect law and order, and bring common sense to Congress on behalf of all residents of Santa Barbara County.

I grew up poor, the son of an immigrant mother and a father shattered by the torture of the Bataan Death March that led to his premature death when I was 9 years old. The American Dream was my dream and the only hope I had to build a better life.

I am running for Congress because America faces not just one, but multiple crises. Our livelihoods, communities, and freedoms are at risk, putting in jeopardy the well-being of our seniors, veterans, and families. I will stand up for Santa Barbara County to protect the values and institutions that made America the beacon of hope for generations.

None of this is new for me! I have been a Santa Barbara County watchdog and taxpayer advocate for the past 30 years, leading a non-partisan coalition of labor, agriculture and business working together to fight corruption and waste and to create more opportunity and higher wages for everyone. I have a record of getting things done!

We can protect our homes and our liberty, expand education choices, and rebuild our economy to create more jobs and prosperity for everyone in Santa Barbara County. However, we will need to work together. Learn more at www.AndyCaldwell2020.com

Education and Qualifications: I’m Salud Carbajal, and I’m honored to stand up for our Central Coast values as your representative in Congress. As a husband, father, and Marine Corps veteran, I am committed to serving our community and country. I attended UCSB while working two jobs to become the first in my family to graduate from a university. My wife, Gina, and I have raised our children here. In Congress, I’m fighting to make sure that everyone has opportunities to get ahead. I know many individuals and families are struggling and concerned about the effects of COVID-19 on our health, jobs, and local economy. I’m working across party lines to protect health care and ensure it remains affordable and accessible during this pandemic. I helped secure more than $77 million to help Central Coast hospitals, health clinics, and frontline workers. I supported emergency aid that brought more than $1 billion in financial relief for small businesses, farmers, local governments, and retained more than 150,000 jobs. In Congress, I will continue working with Republicans and Democrats to find bipartisan solutions for the challenges facing the Central Coast and our nation. I am proud to have worked on legislation that preserves our pristine environment, addresses climate change, and bans offshore oil drilling. I will keep fighting to create jobs, increase support for veterans, address racial inequality, and promote commonsense gun safety measures.

Education and Qualifications: I represent Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties in the State Assembly, and am a lifelong resident of the area. I have a proven record of working to improve our schools, protect our environment, expand job training, advance women’s health care and protect consumers. But perhaps most important, as we face the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on our health, schools and economy, I have experience leading our region through crises, including wildfires. I have successfully fought to get frontline workers the protective equipment and emergency supplies needed in this crisis. To help Californians get through the economic hardship caused by COVID-19, I worked to bring an additional 20 weeks of unemployment benefits for employees, tax relief for employers, and assistance for nonprofits and small businesses to help them survive the crisis. As the former Chair of the California State Assembly Select Committee on Natural Disaster Response, Recovery, and Rebuilding, I have fought to improve emergency communication, clean-up hazardous materials, and create a statewide taskforce on fire prevention. Access to healthcare continues to be a priority for our community and I am working with a coalition to protect and improve it. I earned a 100% voting record with Health Access California, helped pass prescription drug pricing transparency, and wrote new laws providing emergency physicians with critical medical records and keeping the cost of cancer medication down. I am proud to be supported by a broad range of frontline workers, including nurses, teachers, grocery workers, and firefighters.

Education and Qualifications: I’m proud of my record of solving problems and getting things done, as a Ventura County Supervisor, environmental leader and teacher. I’d be honored to earn your vote for State Assembly, representing both Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.

We’ve been facing crisis on top of crisis locally for the past few years, starting with wildfires and continuing now with the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. I’m a proven problem-solver who gets things done, and that’s why I’m supported by frontline workers and first-responders, including nurses, firefighters, and paramedics. They want a leader with the experience and effectiveness to help get us through the current crisis.

I passed laws to stop oil companies and other corporate polluters from contaminating our air, land, drinking water and beaches. That’s why I’m supported by the Sierra Club.

I brought fiscal discipline to county government without cuts to vital local services, and secured funding to bolster firefighting efforts.

As an experienced local educator, you can count on me to work for increasing funding for our public schools.

I’m an independent local leader who stands up to powerful special interests, and wrote one of the strongest campaign reform laws taking big money out of local politics.

STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR Governing Board Member

County Board of Education, Trustee Area 6 LOU SEGAL Occupation: Parent/Business Owner Education and Qualifications: Why am I running for a school board that most voters never heard of? Because I deeply care about education and am frustrated that in the 32 years I have lived in Santa Barbara, we have been unable to improve the academic performance of the public schools.

Every year I look at test scores of the students in our schools, and it never ceases to amaze me how poorly we are doing. In most schools in Santa Barbara, more than 50% of students aren't proficient in math or English. In some schools the percentage is much higher. Now, with this inexplicable decision to close our schools, we know more students will fall behind academically.

I believe the county superintendent and the board can make a difference if they have a clear and compelling vision to use the powers of this office to make meaningful changes in our schools. There has been a lack of imagination and purpose by members of this board to date. Please vote for me and together let's change the status quo and do what we know is right for our kids, so they can realize their future hopes and dreams.

CELESTE BARBER Age: 68 Occupation: Retired Instructor

Education and Qualifications: I taught in the English Department at SBCC for twenty years (1995-2015). I understood that for many of my students, Freshman Composition would be their last English class. So every semester, I committed to a syllabus reading list that included writings noted for their profundity and eloquence. Authors whose enduring ideas elevated the human spirit. I then learned of a program developed at a Chicago community college, the Great Books Curriculum. Upon returning from the conference, I proposed the GBC for SBCC, and upon its approval, subsequently served as its Coordinator until my retirement. During those years, GBC expanded its outreach to include students from Middle College and Santa Barbara High School. In 2014, the College faculty placed my name in nomination for the Hayward Award for Excellence in Education. Santa Barbara City College is now grappling with both the Pandemic's financial impact as well as lowered enrollment. The greatest challenge facing the Board of Trustees is the dire economic situation, while committing to the highest quality education within each of our many programs and for which the school is distinguished.

Education and Qualifications: I am a 5th generation farmer born and raised in the Goleta Valley. Graduated Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a BS in Agricultural Business. Over a decade of Agricultural experience. Currently sit on the Santa Barbara County Farm Bureau Board.

As a fellow community member, we have all seen the changes ongoing droughts and urban development have brought to the Goleta Valley. I intend to be the responsible voice of reason for future water decisions and a firm supportive voice for the underrepresented Agricultural Community.

Agriculture provides our community with unique circumstances that few other communities can compare to. Open, mountainous green space while simultaneously providing life-saving wildfire buffers for housing areas.

It is inevitable that we will see more droughts in the future. As a community, we need to protect, preserve, and entertain the prospect of alternate water sources and conservation in our Goleta Valley, for our future generations to thrive. I believe district internal spending needs to be reconsidered and reprioritized, and the answer to lack of revenues cannot always be rate increases to the community.

I ask for your vote ... A vote for a voice of reason.
