A sample ballot shows you what you can expect on your official ballot come Election Day — what candidates and issues will be on it, how will it look, how they are listed. It’s a chance for you to learn who the candidates and issues are so you can study them and make an informed decision.
You are also allowed to mark the ballot and take it with you into the voting booth on Election Day so you already know how you plan on voting.
Your sample ballot will also have information about where you can vote either in early voting or on Election Day.
You can also check your sample ballot online at any time by going to the website for your county supervisor of elections. You can find that information below.
