Starting Wednesday, May 27, it will resume normal operating hours, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on June 2, Election Day, it will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., like the other vote centers scattered around the county.<\/p>\n<p>Vote centers offer a range of services, aside from serving as a place to cast a ballot. There, voters can obtain a replacement ballot or one in their preferred language, register to vote and cast a provisional ballot or find other help for voting-related issues.<\/p>\n<p>Three ballot drop boxes are still closed, though, the registrar said.<\/p>\n<p>They are:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The drive-up and walk-up drop box at the Chapman Sports Park at 11700 Knott St., in Garden Grove.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The walk-up drop box at the Stanton Branch Library at 7850 Katella Ave., in Stanton.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The walk-up drop box at the Korean Martyrs Catholic Center at 7655 Trask Ave., in Westminster.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=9292\">Q&amp;A: Anna Gomez is the sole Democrat on the FCC.
