There’s still time for you to get your vote in.

If you’re planning to vote in person at a polling location or drop off your ballot in Sacramento County on Election Day, here’s what to know.

How in person voting works

All California registered voters got a ballot in the mail for the 2022 general election. You can fill that ballot out and return it to a vote center on Election Day.

If you prefer to vote at the polling center, here’s what you can expect, according to Sacramento County:

  1. You’ll check in with the vote center staff and they will confirm your eligibility to send in a ballot.
  2. Some individuals may need to show identification to vote in person. This includes those who are voting for the first time after registering to vote by mail and did not provide a driver license number, California ID number or the last four digits of their social security number on the registration form. Identification can be a recent utility bill, passport, license or student ID.
  3. You’ll wait for your printed ballot or the next available ballot marking station.
  4. Put your votes in and when you’re finished, put it into the ballot box.
