Turn Out & Vote: 2026 California Primary Voting Resources

Across the country, LGBTQ+ communities are facing growing attacks on health care access and essential protections. If we sit this election out, they win. This election is an opportunity to make our voices heard and demand action from elected leaders.

LGBTQ+ voters and allies are a significant voting block and when we Turn Out & Vote, we win.

The 2026 California Primary Election is on Tuesday, June 2. Let’s Turn Out & Vote to pass Measure ER in LA County to fund comprehensive healthcare services.

Make a Voting Plan

A voting plan is a way to help you figure out what research you want to do to become a more informed voter and ensure that your ballot is properly submitted and counted. It could be as simple as setting aside some time to fill out your mail-in ballot, deciding where you’ll go to turn it in, and encouraging a loved one to do the same. Here are some steps to get you started:

Check your voter registration to make sure everything is up to date.
If you missed the deadline to register to vote, you can sign-up for same-day voter registration at any county elections office, polling place, or vote center.
Make sure you know what deadlines are coming up to cast your ballot.
If you vote at home, all you have to do is make sure your ballot is postmarked by Election Day, June 2. As long as the county receives your ballot within seven days of the election, it will be counted. You can track your ballot online to make sure it was counted.
You can also return your ballot to any vote center in LA County. You may also deposit your ballot at any one of the county’s ballot drop boxes.
Research the candidates using some of the available resources, and share those resources with your friends and family.
Talk to your loved ones. If you’re a teacher, talk to other community members, neighbors, and others about what they’re thinking and feeling about school board races.
Share your voting plans and information with your friends and family. Drop them a calendar invite so you can all vote together in person.
All California voting centers will be open for in-person voting starting May 30, making it convenient and easy to make time to show up to the polls.
