Hi John,

Don’t let your voice rest in peace—creep it real and make sure you’re all set to vote by next Tuesday! 👻

If you’re unsure of your registration status, you can check it here and use this handy voting checklist to get ready to vote. View options for turning in your ballot below, and keep reading for NPH’s electoral endorsements for thriving and supported communities:

Haven’t Turned in Your Ballot? There’s Still Time!

If you haven’t turned in your ballot, this is your reminder! There are only a few days left to get your ballot in, and there are several ways to do so:

📮 Secure Drop Box: Drop off your ballot at a vote-by-mail secure drop box before polls close on Election Day. Don’t forget to sign the outside of the envelope and seal it! Unsigned ballots will not be counted. (Refer to your county election office for dropbox locations in your county.)

🗳️ Polling Location: Drop off your ballot at a polling location before and up to Election Day. (Refer to your county election office for specific dates and locations.)

📬 Mail: If you are submitting your ballot by USPS, we urge you to mail it as soon as possible to make sure it is counted. Ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day (Tuesday, November 4), and USPS cannot guarantee that your ballot will be postmarked on the day it is sent. After Saturday, November 1, you should drop off your ballot at a drop box or polling location.

✅ Please Note:

• If you’ve misplaced your ballot or never received it in the mail, don’t worry! You can still vote in-person at a polling location.
• If you missed the online voter registration deadline, it’s not too late to vote! Same-day voter registration is available at your county elections office or polling location up to and including Election Day.

Santa Clara’s Measure A

Our position: Support

Why NPH Supports Measure A: Measure A is a local, five-year ⅝-cent sales tax that would generate $330 million annually to protect healthcare access in Santa Clara County. It's a temporary but essential response to massive federal healthcare cuts that threaten to shut down emergency rooms, trauma centers and local clinics. This measure will protect essential access to healthcare for Santa Clara County community members, including tens of thousands of affordable housing residents who depend on quality healthcare to thrive.

Santa Cruz’s Measure C

Our position: Support

Why NPH Supports Measure C: Measure C (Workforce Housing Affordability Act of 2025) would make it easier for teachers, healthcare workers, service workers and other essential workers to afford housing nearby, closer to work that supports our community. The two-part measure would establish a parcel tax of $96/parcel with exemptions, and a transfer tax on properties valued greater than $1.8 million. 87% of revenues would be dedicated to affordable housing programs and projects, 10% would be dedicated to homelessness prevention, and a maximum of 3% could be used for community oversight and administrative expenses in implementation.

Santa Cruz’s Measure B

Our position: Oppose

Why NPH Opposes Measure B: Measure B (Workforce Housing and Climate Protection Act of 2025) is a voter-led initiative proposed by the Santa Cruz County Association of Realtors, introduced with the intention to compete with Measure C and reduce its chance of passage. Measure B would establish a parcel tax of $50/parcel with exemptions and a lower-rate property transfer tax, which would only apply to properties valued above $4 million. View Santa Cruz County info on Measure B. (If both Measure B and C are approved by a simple majority of voters, the measure that receives a greater number of votes will take effect.)

Sausalito’s Measures J & K

Our position: Support

Why NPH Supports Measures J & K: Measure J would approve the rezoning of 12 commercial lots identified as opportunities for housing development in the city’s Amended Housing Element. Measure K would rezone a two-acre portion of the City-owned Martin Luther King Jr. property, which is identified as an opportunity site for housing development in the Amended Housing Element, to allow for 50 units of senior housing. To remain in compliance with state housing law, Sausalito must approve both rezonings.
