Your Voice, Your Choice​

The California Voter’s Choice Act became law in 2016 to make voting more convenient and accessible. Before moving to the Voter's Choice Act, 64% of Sacramento County voters already permanently voted by mail. Vote Centers will open two weekends before Election Day so voters can vote on a day that fits with their busy schedule.

  • You choose how to vote: through the mail, Official Ballot Drop Box location, or Vote Center.
  • You choose when to vote: you now have 11 days to vote at any Vote Center location in Sacramento.  Election Day hours are still 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
    ​
    You can vote early or on Election Day at a location close to home, work, or anywhere in the County!​
  • You choose where to vote: Voters can visit any Vote Center in the County.
  • Get the support you need: Vote Center staff will be there to help you have a great voting experience, including providing assistance in multiple languages, helping voters with disabilities, and updating your voter registration information.
