SLO County to return to traditional voting for future elections

Those ballots could be mailed back, dropped off at newly created Voter Service Centers or in-person at the County Clerk-Recorder s office.
SLO County saw a record-breaking 88 percent voter turnout for the November general election which was fourth highest in the state.
