Presidential General Election Update
Voting Begins Today
Vote by Mail Ballots in the mail

Registrar of Voters Jill LaVine announced that beginning today Tuesday, October 11, 2016, vote by mail voters can cast their Presidential General Election ballot.  Permanent Vote by Mail voters will receive their ballot in the mail in the next few days. 

In an effort to make returning your Vote By Mail ballot easier, the Sacramento County Election Office has installed a new drive-up ballot drop-off box in the Election’s Office parking lot.  Voters can now just drive up, drop-off their ballots, and quickly be on their way.  This drop box is available to voters 7 days week, 24 hours a day, until 8 p.m. on election night November 8th.

It’s not too late to request to vote by mail for the Presidential General Election.  Registered voters have until November 1, 2016 to request a Vote By Mail ballot be mailed to them. You can request a Vote By Mail ballot by using the application printed on the back of the sample ballot booklet, using the on-line form at www.elections.saccounty.net, or by calling the Elections Office at (916) 875-6155.
