GENERAL ELECTION UPDATE
County Voter Information Guide Mailed to Sacramento County Registered Voters
The Voter Registration and Elections (VRE) Office has begun mailing the County Voter Information Guide (CVIG) for the November 3, 2026, General Election to Sacramento County registered voters. Voters will receive their CVIG in English unless a language preference for Spanish, Chinese or Vietnamese was indicated. If you would like to update your language preference you may do so online at: https://myvoterportal.saccounty.gov/VoterAction.
Registered voters can expect the CVIGs to begin arriving in their mailboxes this week. It will include Ballot Drop Box and Vote Center locations, local candidate statements, measures on the ballot, and important dates and information. VRE is currently running a “Go Green” Campaign. If you would like to participate and “opt out” of receiving your CVIG by mail, please complete the form on our website at: https://myvoterportal.saccounty.gov/VoterAction.
