On Wednesday, November 25, Public Information Officer Brooke Federico announced staff members of the Riverside County Registrar of Voters office had tested positive for the coronavirus. As a result, dozens of employees are now quarantined. In response the county set up immediate testing for the entire office including permanent and all remaining temporary staff members. In addition, the entire office was cleaned and disinfected. On Wednesday nearly 4,000 provisional ballots were waiting to be researched, verified and counted. In addition, the manual audit of one percent of the ballots also continued to confirm that the ballot counting machines accurately counted each ballot. Also, any voters whose signature did not match the signature on their ballot registration form have until December 1 to return their signature curing form. Despite the coronavirus set-back Federico confirmed the office is on target to certify the election by December 3.
