"content": "\u003cp>After months of waiting, Californians finally get to vote in the presidential primary, nominate state candidates and decide many local measures and races. But with so many options on how to vote, and changes in voting rules, casting a ballot can seem difficult. Here's everything you need to know on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Find Your Polling Place\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"aligncenter noborder\">[pollingPlace]\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If You Still Have Your Vote-by-Mail Ballot\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIf you saved that vote-by-mail ballot until Election Day, you're not alone. The majority of Californians who vote-by-mail wait until the last moment to cast their ballot. For instance, in 2014, Alameda County only received 5 percent of vote-by-mail ballots before Election Day. So many people waited that \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/11/11/mail-in-ballots-will-soon-require-only-a-postmark-by-election-day\" target=\"_blank\">we changed state law\u003c/a>. Now, election officials will count vote-by-mail ballots as long as they are postmarked by Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: 1) You can still mail it in! Just mail it out on Tuesday, or 2) You can take the ballot to your polling place, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/06/contra-costa-alters-mail-in-ballot-exchange-policy-for-primary\" target=\"_blank\">surrender it, and ask for a new ballot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If You Never Received Your Vote-by-Mail Ballot\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIf your vote-by-mail ballot never arrived, or you lost it, you can still vote provisionally.

Just ask a poll worker or county elections official for a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However if you wanted to vote for a presidential candidate in the Republican Party, Green Party or Peace and Freedom Party, you have missed the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/05/27/days-before-primary-many-voters-realize-their-ballots-dont-have-presidential-candidates\" target=\"_blank\">May 23 registration deadline\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're registered as no party preference and vote-by-mail, you can still bring that ballot in and request a replacement ballot for the American Independent Party, Democratic Party or Libertarian Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How California's Top Two Primary Works\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn statewide races — including U.S. Senate and Congress, California Senate, California Assembly, governor, secretary of state, etc. — every eligible candidate from every party is grouped together. The top two candidates from any party who receive the most votes in the primary will face each other in a runoff in the November general election. So, two Democrats, two Republicans, or two Green Party candidates could run against each other in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read an in-depth explanation of the top-two system \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/06/06/californias-new-top-two-primary-explained/\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Track Your Vote-by-Mail or Provisional Ballot\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nVoting by mail is easy and convenient, but sometimes it can feel like casting your ballot into a black hole.

But with so many options on how to vote, and changes in voting rules, casting a ballot can seem difficult.

The majority of Californians who vote-by-mail wait until the last moment to cast their ballot. For instance, in 2014, Alameda County only received 5 percent of vote-by-mail ballots before Election Day. So many people waited that \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/11/11/mail-in-ballots-will-soon-require-only-a-postmark-by-election-day\" target=\"_blank\">we changed state law\u003c/a>. Now, election officials will count vote-by-mail ballots as long as they are postmarked by Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bottom line: 1) You can still mail it in! Just mail it out on Tuesday, or 2) You can take the ballot to your polling place, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/06/06/contra-costa-alters-mail-in-ballot-exchange-policy-for-primary\" target=\"_blank\">surrender it, and ask for a new ballot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If You Never Received Your Vote-by-Mail Ballot\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIf your vote-by-mail ballot never arrived, or you lost it, you can still vote provisionally.

And do I have to do anything special?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, you can vote in person at your polling location even if you've received a vote by mail ballot already. One tip: when you go into your polling place bring your vote by mail ballot with you. When you arrive, you’ll surrender that ballot so that you can vote in person.\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\nBringing your vote by mail ballot with you will ensure that you don’t have to cast a provisional ballot (provisional ballots are ballots that are given when there are questions about a voter's eligibility). \u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\nAnother tip: If you’re a no party preference voter and you want to cast a ballot for the Democratic presidential primary, remember to ask for a “crossover ballot” when you go to your polling location. If you want more information on crossover ballots, check out \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/05/25/61003/human-voter-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-abou/\">last week's segment\u003c/a>. \u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Q: I'm a registered voter with \"no party preference\" here in California. I've already mailed in my mail-in ballot but it wasn't a crossover ballot. Is there still any way I can vote in our Democratic primary?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\nThis voter is referring to the fact that California's no party preference ballot does not include presidential candidates. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several election officials weighed in on this question, and tell us that the official answer is no. Once you’ve mailed in your ballot, it’s considered a ballot that’s been cast and there’s no way to submit a separate vote for president. If you voted via the no party preference ballot instead of the crossover ballot, and you’ve already mailed it in, you're technically out of luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're in this situation and upset, it's worth a call to your county elections office. State law favors voters when it comes to elections and occasionally exceptions are made to help people vote. You can find \u003ca href=\"http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/county-elections-offices/\">a contact list online\u003c/a>. \u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Q: Somewhere I thought I heard that mail-in ballots are only counted when elections are close. Is that true?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\nFor this question, we turned to Kim Alexander, she’s the president and founder of The California Voter Foundation. (Helpful aside: Alexander has \u003ca href=\"http://www.calvoter.org/voter/faq.html#abs\">a question and answer page on her website\u003c/a> that addresses voting quandaries.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know that question goes back to the 2000 election.

You can also leave your question in the comment box below or tweet it with the hashtag #humanvoterguide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: My question is if I'm registered to vote by mail and received a ballot already, but decided I want to vote in person instead, can I do so? And do I have to do anything special?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, you can vote in person at your polling location even if you've received a vote by mail ballot already. One tip: when you go into your polling place bring your vote by mail ballot with you. When you arrive, you’ll surrender that ballot so that you can vote in person.\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\nBringing your vote by mail ballot with you will ensure that you don’t have to cast a provisional ballot (provisional ballots are ballots that are given when there are questions about a voter's eligibility). \u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\nAnother tip: If you’re a no party preference voter and you want to cast a ballot for the Democratic presidential primary, remember to ask for a “crossover ballot” when you go to your polling location. If you want more information on crossover ballots, check out \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/05/25/61003/human-voter-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-abou/\">last week's segment\u003c/a>. \u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Q: I'm a registered voter with \"no party preference\" here in California. I've already mailed in my mail-in ballot but it wasn't a crossover ballot. Is there still any way I can vote in our Democratic primary?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\nThis voter is referring to the fact that California's no party preference ballot does not include presidential candidates. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several election officials weighed in on this question, and tell us that the official answer is no. Once you’ve mailed in your ballot, it’s considered a ballot that’s been cast and there’s no way to submit a separate vote for president. If you voted via the no party preference ballot instead of the crossover ballot, and you’ve already mailed it in, you're technically out of luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
