One of the best decisions voters made is to elect Humboldt County Clerk, Recorder Registrar of Voters Juan Cervantes. Regardless of politics, county officials, business members and community complement him on his fairness and professionalism and I agree.

Two of the County departments that are well run, helpful and have knowledgeable shout are Elections and the Assessor's office. This has been my experience and it has only improved after the last election and current department heads.

Humboldt County Elections Office Press Release:

The Humboldt County Office of Elections is seeking input from Humboldt County voters on the second draft of county’s revised draft Election Administration Plan (EAP). This important plan describes how the county will conduct its upcoming elections, so voter feedback is essential.

In 2023, the County of Humboldt transitioned to the California Voter’s Choice Act (VCA) elections format and finalized the 2023 Election Administration Plan. Under state law, the county is required to submit an updated EAP that describes how the County of Humboldt will administer elections under the VCA. To meet the state’s requirements, and ensure the revised plan meets the needs of local voters, the Office of Elections is committed to engaging with voters and gathering public input on the draft plan.

The Humboldt County Office of Election held a public hearing in May to discuss the draft EAP and appropriate feedback received has been incorporated into the updated draft plan. The revised draft EAP can be reviewed at humboldtgov.org/VotersChoiceAct.

Public comment on the draft EAP will be accepted until Friday, July 11 at noon. Feedback can be submitted through an online submission form, by email at humboldt_elections@co.humboldt.ca.us or over the phone at 707-445-7481. 

For more information on the Voter’s Choice Act, please visit the California Voter’s Choice Act website.

The final draft of the new Humboldt County Election Administration Plan is expected to be available to the public in August. For more information on the draft Election Administration Plan, please contact the Humboldt County Office of Elections at 707-445-7481 or email humboldt_elections@co.humboldt.ca.us.
