Primary election voting materials headed to Placer County voters

The June 2 Statewide Direct Primary Election is just over a month away and the Placer County Elections Office stands ready to help voters cast their ballots and make their voices heard. Voters who have recently interacted with the DMV may have had their voter registration information changed during their transaction. It is important that these voters visit voterstatus.sos.ca.gov to review and confirm their registration status, address and all other pertinent information to ensure they are registered correctly. Voters may have already received their voter information guides by mail and should review them closely, as they provide important information about the offices on the ballot, their voting options and important deadlines. Per California Elections Code, voting materials, including vote-by-mail ballots, will be in the mail to all active, eligible Placer County voters by May 4. If any voter has not received their guides and/or ballot by May 14, it is highly recommended they contact the Elections Office by email at election@placer.ca.gov, by phone at 1-800-824-8683 or by visiting the Elections Office at 3715 Atherton Road in Rocklin. The last day to request a ballot by mail is May 26. There will be 29 official ballot drop boxes located in Placer County for the primary election. All boxes will be accessible to voters no later than May 5 and will close promptly at 8 p.m. on election night, June 2. Voters can find a list of locations and their hours of availability in their county voter information guide or on the Placer County Elections website at placercountyelections.gov/drop-box-locations/. Placer County will operate 30 vote centers throughout the county that will offer in-person voting and ballot scanning, replacement ballots, accessible voting equipment, language assistance and more. Seven of these locations will open May 23, with the remaining 23 opening May 30. All vote center locations will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. except for Election Day, June 2, when they will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. A list of vote center locations and their days and hours of operation is included in the Placer County Voter Information Guide and available on the Placer County Elections website at placercountyelections.gov/vote-center-locations/. To better serve the voters of Placer County, the Elections Office will also be open on Memorial Day, May 25 (a county holiday), from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., as well as the two weekends prior to the June 2, 2026 Statewide Direct Primary Election (May 23 and 24, and May 30 and 31) from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit the Elections website at placercountyelections.gov, call the Elections Office at 530-886-5650 (toll-free 1-800-824-8683) or email election@placer.ca.gov for more information about the upcoming election, registering to vote and casting a ballot in Placer County.
