Vote Yes on Bonds and Overrides

Individual school districts use bonds and overrides to raise funds for our public schools. Bonds are usually used for big projects like buildings, while overrides provide ongoing funding for things like educator pay.

Vote YES to Fund Our Schools

If you've got a school district bond or override on your ballot, make sure to vote YES to support educators, students and communities. 

School bonds and overrides will be labeled with the name of the school district - like "Mesa Unified No. 4" or "Osborn Elementary No. 8."

Vote YES to support music, arts and sports programs and to ensure that our kids can get the individualized attention and care that they deserve. 

Look for Your Ballot in the Mail, No Matter How You Usually Vote 

This year’s elections will be entirely by mail (except in Santa Cruz or La Paz counties). If you're registered to vote and you have a bond or override in your area, you'll get a ballot in the mail in the next few days, even if you normally vote in person.

Mail Your Ballot by October 31

Completed ballots must arrive at your county's elections department by 5 pm on Tuesday, November 7. To make sure your ballot gets there on time, put it in the mail by October 31. And tell your friends to do the same!

Missed the deadline? It's not too late! Drop off your ballot at a secure dropbox. Or, alternatively, look for a ballot replacement site on Election Day -- these are in-person voting options for people who have lost or damaged their ballots, and you'll be able to drop off your completed ballot there. Get more information about all of these options from your county elections department.
