Registered California voters should soon see their ballots for the June 2 primary election arriving in the mailbox. Monday was the last day for counties across California to start sending out the ballots to all active, registered voters, according to California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber . Secure ballot drop-off locations will open on Tuesday, and ballots can also be taken to a county elections office or returned by mail using the ballot’s postage-paid return envelope. Vote-by-mail ballots must be postmarked no later than June 2, and anyone mailing a ballot on Election Day should get a hand-stamped postmark from a postal employee inside a U.S. Post Office. The last day to register to vote for the June 2 primary election is May 18. On June 2, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Election guides were mailed last week and should have already arrived in voters’ mailboxes.
