A lot is at stake and we're breaking everything down.
Here's a look at all the races and where everyone stands with up-to-date live election results:
Registered voters can visit any vote center in the county, regardless of where they live. If you filled out a mail-in ballot, you can return it at any voter center or official ballot drop box.
Eligible voters who have not registered can visit any vote center, complete a conditional voter registration and cast a ballot. Once the registration is validated through the statewide database, the ballot will be processed like all others, officials said.
On Election Day, the centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

"There's the ability for voters to track their own ballot. There's the ability for interested parties to come in and observe the process. We livestream our process from our ballot processing center, and we conduct audits after Election Day to make sure that everything is as intended," Logan said.
