As mandated by California Elections Code, Placer County will have translated sample ballots in Spanish, Tagalog, Korean or Punjabi that voters can use as a reference guide when voting their own ballot.

Requests must be received no later than seven days before Election Day.
Placer County has recently adopted the Voter’s Choice Act (VCA), which means voters no longer have an assigned polling place and are permitted to go to any vote center in the county for in-person voting. For more information about the adoption of VCA, please visit https://www.
