California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., Releases Statewide Voter Information Guide for Public Review
Sacramento, Calif. – Today California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., made the June 2, 2026, California Primary Election Official Voter Information Guide available for public review. The guide, which will be mailed to every voting household in California, includes statements from candidates running for constitutional offices, as well as other important election information such as the Voter Bill of Rights and how to find polling locations. California’s Official Voter Information Guide is available in 10 languages—English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese.
The guide will be available for public examination from February 17 through March 9 at https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/public-display and at the Office of the Secretary of State’s Sacramento and Los Angeles locations. During this public display period, anyone may challenge any portion of the Official Voter Information Guide in Sacramento Superior Court.
Following the conclusion of the public examination period, the Office of the Secretary of State will begin printing and mailing the statewide Voter Information Guide to all households that have at least one registered voter. Audio and large-print versions, as well as additional hard copies of guides in any of the available 10 languages, can be requested by calling (800) 345-VOTE (8683) or by email at vigfeedback@sos.ca.gov.
Registered California voters can opt out of receiving a paper Voter Information Guide by mail and instead receive a link to the electronic version via email.

Voters who are already registered can opt out at: https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/.
