Overview
- Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber is urging Californians to register by the cutoff to be sent a vote-by-mail ballot for the June 2 primary.
- All active registered voters receive a ballot at home, which they can return by mail, at official drop boxes, or at in-person vote centers.
- Mailed ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and arrive within seven days to count, so officials recommend sending them at least a week early.
- Voters who miss the deadline can still use same-day registration at county offices or voting sites through Election Day, casting a provisional ballot that counts after verification.
- Voters can track each step with the state’s “Where’s My Ballot?” alerts, and the state reports thousands of polling places, drop boxes, and early voting sites ready statewide.
