If you live in Sacramento County you won’t be able to go to the polls on Tuesday, June 5 to vote. Sacramento is one of five California counties that have eliminated polling places and replaced them with voting by mail and Voting Centers. Sacramento County is one of the counties leveraging technology to increase voter participation. Beginning with the June 5th election, not only can you vote at any Sacramento County Voting Center, but you can check the status of your ballot, too.
Dominion Voting Systems is providing the software to support Sacramento County’s move to comply with the Voter’s Choice Act (voting modernization). As always, the California Secretary of State’s Office will oversee and certify this election process.
A couple of tips on voting this year:
- If voting by mail, your signed ballot should arrive postmarked by June 5 AND received by June 8, otherwise you will need to hand in your ballot or vote in-person.
- If you want to physically hand in your ballot, you can do so at one of the 78 Voting Center locations.
- If you want to vote in-person, go to one of the 78 Voting Center locations and they will print a ballot for you to use.
