Primary Election Day - Tuesday, June 02, 2026

Polling places in most counties are open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (DVC campuses do not have polling stations). 

If you're voting by mail, your ballot must be postmarked by today to be counted. Make sure it receives a hand-stamped postmark at the Postal Office counter. No postage stamps needed.

You can also drop your completed ballot at an official drop box location. Just find a box, drop your ballot, and make your voice heard. 

DVC Pleasant Hill campus has an official drop box in Parking Lot 8. Unfortunately, DVC San Ramon does not have an official drop box but you can find a drop box at the nearby Community Arts Center (17011 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA).

Whether you mail your ballot or insert it into a drop box, you can track your ballot by going to WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov.
