GOTV! California 2016 Primary Election is Tuesday, June 7
Tuesday, June 7, 2016 is the California primary. Let’s Get Out The Vote!
If you vote by mail, please remember to postmark and mail your ballot on or before June 7. It must be received by your county’s elections office no later than June 10, in order to be counted.
If you vote in person on Election Day, locate your polling place here. Bring your ID JUST IN CASE (especially if you registered online).

- American Independent Party
- Democratic Party
- Libertarian Party
DO NOT ACCEPT A PROVISIONAL BALLOT – YOU MUST REQUEST A CROSSOVER BALLOT.
If you experience any problems at your polling place, or encounter any interference when attempting to exercise your right to vote, call 1-800-345-VOTE (8683) right away. Continue reading
