California 1st Congressional District (CA-1) voters, passing Prop 50 is our best shot to fire Trump-loving MAGA Rep. LaMalfa! A YES vote on Prop 50 gives us a real chance to send him back to his government-subsidized rice farm!

Map of CA-1 & 2 if Prop 50 passes

Our far-flung district currently includes Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sutter, and Tehama counties, and most of Yuba County. Read on for your options to vote.

VOTE-BY-MAIL

You can return your completed Vote-By-Mail (VBM) ballot by mail, no postage required.

• Ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day, Nov 4, AND received by your county Elections office by Nov 12.

• CAUTION!! Attorney General Bonta warns that ballots mailed 50 miles from a regional USPS facility may not be postmarked until the day AFTER they're mailed. He urges voters to mail ballots early, or to use a drop box. 

• Nearly ALL ballots mailed from within CA-1 are over 50 miles from Sacramento, the closest USPS facility. Vote early!

DROP BOXES & OTHER VOTING LOCATIONS

These voting procedures apply statewide:

• Before Election Day: You can return your completed ballot in person to ANY polling place in the state, OR your county Elections Office.

• On Election Day: You can bring your VBM ballot to ANY polling place in the state from 7 am to 8 pm.

• Voting Options before & on Election Day:

  • You can drop your ballot at ANY drop-off location OR into any ballot drop box in the state.

  • You can also vote in person at the Elections Office in every county. (Always check open dates and times.)

  • Election Day: the deadline to deliver your VBM ballot to a ballot drop-off box is 8 pm.

    
    

Beyond those statewide procedures, voting options vary county-by-county.

Here's how and where CA-1 voters can vote in each county.

• The SOS's Find Your Polling Place webpage links to each county's polling places, ballot drop boxes, and/or voting centers.
