June 2, 2026, Statewide Direct Primary

• If you are interested in the steps we take to ensure secure, transparent, and accurate elections, consider joining us for Logic & Accuracy Testing (LAT) beginning Thursday, April 30 at 9:00 am. in the Elections Center. During this legally required pre-election step, we run test decks of ballots through each tabulator to confirm that the ballots are read without issue and results produced are correct.
  
  
• We have our winners! Check out the four new student-designed stickers that will roll out during the upcoming primary election. SLO County voters will have two new "I Voted" designs, plus a "Yo voté" option and a "Future Voter" sticker for those who aren't yet old enough to vote. Congrats to the four talented young artists whose designs were selected this year!
  
  
• NOTICE FOR CITY OF SLO RESIDENTS: If you received a mailer from the city regarding a sewer rebate opportunity and it listed your address but incorrect contact info, please be aware that this was due to a mail merge issue during the production of the post card. Our office has been contacted by several people concerned that their recorded property documents may have been compromised, but we've confirmed with the City of SLO that there is no issue and that they simply did not catch the issue with the address merge.
