It was a steady weekend at the local elections offices with early voters stopping by to pick up and drop off ballots.
And some local races are getting a lot of attention, from the San Francisco mayoral race to the Silicon Valley congressional seat to the two recalls in Alameda County.
In Oakland, people who voted over the weekend said they felt good to have done their part.
“Don’t have to worry about the text messages and the ads anymore. Definitely some nervousness about how the results are going to go,” said Alameda County voter Ambre Moton.
“In order to see our son, we drove 1,100 miles to Santa Fe, New Mexico. In order to vote, we drove three days, five and a half to six hours a day, to get back in time to vote. That’s how important it is,” said voter Helen Campbell.
Oakland voters said the big races for them are the two recalls of Mayor Sheng Thao and District Attorney Pamela Price .
“I actually kept Pamela Price. And I voted against Sheng Thao,” said Oakland voter Connie Burgin.
