REDDING, Calif. — With California’s primary election approaching, voters who have not yet cast a ballot should be aware the deadline is approaching despite still have time to submit their vote.
Election Day is Tuesday, June 2, and voters have several last-minute options to participate.
Voters who already have a mail-in ballot at home can still return it using official ballot drop boxes or by delivering it in person at a voting location.
In Shasta County, voters can find a complete list of official ballot drop boxes by visiting the Shasta County elections website, clicking “Voting Information,” then selecting “Ballot Drop Off.” Voters planning to cast a ballot in person can also use the same website to find their nearest polling place under “Voting Place and Ballot Information,” where a map shows voting locations across the county.
Election officials are reminding voters to double-check their registration status before heading to the polls. They are also urging voters to make sure mail ballots are signed before turning them in.
In most cases, California voters do not need to show an ID to cast a ballot, though first-time voters who registered by mail may be asked for identification.
For those who missed the voter registration deadline, California allows same-day voter registration. Eligible voters can still register and then cast a ballot at voting centers through Election Day.
After polls close, election workers will begin counting ballots, though final results could take days or even weeks. Polls remain open through Tuesday, June 2, giving voters one final chance to vote.
