Six additional vote centers are opening Saturday on the peninsula for residents to cast ballots in the March 3, 2020 presidential primary election.
Vote centers have replaced traditional polling places in the past three elections in San Mateo County, which is one of 15 counties around the state to implement the Voters Choice Act of 2016.
The law aims to modernize elections and allow voters to choose the most convenient place cast ballots.
The six new vote centers are located in Daly City, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, San Bruno, Redwood City and San Mateo, said Mark Church, chief elections officer for the county.
Three centers previously opened on Feb. 3 in Redwood City, San Mateo and South San Francisco.
Thirty-three additional vote centers will open in the county on Feb. 29, bringing the total to 42 available through Election Day, Church said.
The vote centers are open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., from Saturday through March 2, and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day, March 3.
