How do I vote on Election Day?

Prior to Election Day, the Registrar-Recorder will send you a sample ballot as well as information about the candidates, propositions, and other voting platforms through regular mail. On the back cover of the sample ballot, in the bottom left corner, your polling site will be listed with the address. Your polling site will not necessarily be the same location as your past site, as locations often change. Polling sites are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and have pollworkers who can assist you with questions you may have. You may bring your sample ballot or written materials with you into the voting booth for reference. Remember to bring your California driver’s license or California state identification card.
