County Voter Information Guides

Today, the Sacramento County Department of Voter Registration and Elections announced that the County Voter Information Guide (CVIG) for the June 5 election has been mailed to Sacramento County residents. This year, the Department of Voter Registration and Elections printed more than 705,000 guides in English, Spanish and Chinese.
Registered voters can expect the CVIG to arrive in mailboxes early this week which will contain Vote Center and Ballot Drop Box locations, as well as descriptions of all local candidates and measures on the voter’s ballot.
