Dear Westminster Voter,
This IMPORTANT NOTICE is being sent to inform you that in-person voting options for the Special Westminster Recall Election have been CLOSED in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to California Governor Newsom’s recent Executive Order (N-34-20), the generalized use of in-person voting may present risks to public
health and safety in light of COVID-19 and could risk undermining social distancing measures imposed by the State Public Health Officer.
The Special Recall Election will take place as a mail-ballot only election. Ballots were mailed to all voters on March 9, 2020 – you have the following options to return your ballot:
• Mail your ballot (pre-paid postage) on or before April 7, 2020
