Official ballots for the June 2, 2026 statewide primary election will be mailed to all active registered voters in Mendocino County by Monday, May 4, according to Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder Katrina Bartolomie.
Ballots will also be available beginning May 4 at the County Clerk’s Office, located in Room 1020 of the County Administration Building at 501 Low Gap Road in Ukiah. Voters should expect delivery within five to seven days, though officials say it could take up to 10 days.

Each mailing will include two large ballots, with contests printed on both sides of the first page and the front of the second.

Officials also reminded residents to update their registration if they have moved. The deadline to register to vote and receive a regular ballot by mail is May 18.
The elections office will offer in-person assistance on Saturday, May 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
