California voters will have expanded access to early in-person voting beginning May 30 as the state conducts the June 2 primary election.
Election officials said early voting locations across California will open May 30, giving voters additional opportunities to cast ballots ahead of Election Day. The move comes as counties continue rolling out in-person voting options under the state’s election system.
Vote centers in counties participating in the Voter’s Choice Act already began opening May 23, while secure ballot drop-off sites became available statewide on May 5.
All active registered voters in California are receiving vote-by-mail ballots for the June 2 primary election. County elections officials started mailing ballots on May 4.
Currently, voters can return completed ballots by mail, deliver them to county elections offices, or use official ballot drop-off locations throughout the state.
Although the standard voter registration deadline passed on May 18, eligible Californians can still register and vote through the state’s same-day voter registration process. Residents who missed the deadline may register at county elections offices or any in-person voting location through Election Day.
Election Day is set for June 2, with polling places operating from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Officials said vote-by-mail ballots must be postmarked no later than June 2, to be counted.
State election officials are encouraging voters to cast ballots early, verify registration information, and review local voting options before Election Day as turnout efforts continue statewide.
