Update

Good afternoon. It’s Thursday, May 28.

The June 2 primary election is almost here, and we’re putting out this special newsletter to help you get ready with practical voting information, local race coverage and links to results for election night and beyond to follow along once polls close Tuesday.

Inside this edition, you’ll find coverage and editorials of the key contests in Mendocino County, including the supervisor race in Districts 3 and 5, Measure A at Mendocino Lake Community College District, and the congressional race now drawing in inland Mendocino voters after redistricting. 

For broader statewide and regional coverage, we’ve included links and maps in partnership with AP for Assembly and Senate races, as well as top ballot contests like the governor’s race and other major statewide races. That way, you can track both the local races that directly affect Mendocino County and the bigger contests shaping California’s policies.

I’m also proud to say we’ve been able to cover almost every local Mendocino County race thoroughly with just a small team here at The Mendocino Voice. We know the big outlets aren't covering Mendocino County. That's why we do what we do. It matters to stay informed, stay engaged and stay connected to what's happening in the community.

Cheers to a civically informed community!

Three last-minute tips for you

1. When is the last day to return my vote-by-mail ballot?

Vote-by-mail ballots that are personally delivered must be dropped off no later than the close of polls at 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.

2. What if I can’t make it to a voting center?

If you are unable to return the ballot yourself, you may designate any person to drop off your ballot at an official box or polling place.

3. What is conditional voter registration?

If you did not register to vote by the 15-day voter registration deadline, in most elections, you may conditionally register to vote and cast a provisional ballot by visiting your county elections office, a vote center, or a designated satellite location during the period of 14 days prior to, and including, Election Day.
