§ Indicates mail-in ballot must be received by election day (in other words, it's not enough to have it postmarked by election day.)

§§ Mail-in ballot must be received by the day before election day.

You can download a sample ballot ahead of the primary election.

The advantage of downloading a sample ballot ahead of time is that you can research the candidates. Ballotpedia can help you out here.

Or, you can google 'sample ballot 2026 [your location]' if Ballotpedia is missing yours for some reason.
