With primary elections across the country just days away, the election cycle has already begun. Early voting by in-person will be available in all 26 California Voter Choice Act counties, including San Mateo, on Saturday, May 28.
And all eligible voters can vote in person anywhere in the county up to 10 days before the election.
Since polls open this weekend, voters can check and locate a voting center or ballot drop box in their county through the website www.caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov.
Additionally, all registered California voters were mailed a vote-by-mail ballot that can be returned in several ways:
- Mailbox: Return your ballot to a secure mailbox in any county up to 28 days before the election. Counties offer many secure drop boxes to return your ballot. Polls close at 8:00 p.m. on June 7, 2022.
- Mail: Return your ballot by mail as soon as you complete it. A stamp is not required to return your ballot via the U.S. Postal Service.
