CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION: If you’ve interacted with the DMV since April of 2018, your voter

registration information may have been inadvertently changed. It’s important to confirm your voter status,

political party affiliation, vote by mail status, and information to make sure you are still registered correctly. Check

your status at https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov.

DAMAGED BALLOTS: If you incorrectly mark, tear, or deface any portion of your ballot, place it in the

secrecy folder and return it to a poll worker. A replacement ballot will be issued. If you are voting by mail and

you need a replacement ballot, please contact the Placer County Elections Office for instructions – you can find

our contact information on the front cover of this guide.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR BALLOT: If you lose or discard your vote by mail ballot, you may request a

replacement ballot to be sent to you or vote a ballot at the Placer County Elections Office in Auburn beginning

February 3, 2020. Contact the Elections Office for directions – look on the front cover for our contact information.

VOTING AT THE POLLING PLACE: After you have completed voting, look over your choices one final

time to be sure they are correct, place your ballot in the secrecy sleeve, and deposit the ballot into the ballot

scanner. Once your ballot has been deposited into the machine, it cannot be retrieved.

VOTING BY MAIL: Postage is no longer necessary when returning your ballot. After you have completed

voting, look over your choices one final time to be sure they are correct and place your ballot in the return

envelope provided. Be sure to sign and date the envelope where required. The envelope must have your

signature on it or the ballot cannot be counted. Return the envelope according to the instructions you received

with your ballot. If you wish to return your voted ballot by mail, it must be postmarked by Election Day, March 3rd

and received by the Elections Office no later than Friday, March 6th for your ballot to count. We encourage you

to mail your ballot on or before February 25th so it may arrive on time. If you wish to return your voted ballot in

person, it must be hand-delivered at or before 8:00 PM on Election Day. For your convenience, the Elections

Office in Auburn has a 24-hour drive-up drop-off ballot box. There are additional ballot drop-off locations in Placer

County – see the page titled “Returning Your Ballot” for details.

OPTIONS FOR RECEIVING YOUR VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE: You have a choice in how you

receive your voter information guide. State Law (AB 1717) allows voters to “go green” by choosing to opt-out of

receiving their voter information guide by mail and accessing it electronically instead. For more information

please go to www.placerelections.com.

You are reading Placer County’s Composite Sample Ballot and Voter Information Guide, which is created especially for voters who have opted out of receiving a paper Voter Information Guide or who are using our online Voter Information Guide lookup tool. This electronic booklet includes all the different ballots that voters will be using in your area and all candidate statements and measure information pertinent to your ballot. The type of ballot you will get is determined by the political party you chose (or didn’t choose if you chose to be a No Party Preference voter) when you registered to vote. Therefore, there are 7 different ballots in this guide and you will vote the ballot for your political party preference. Party Preference Voters: If you do not remember what political party you signed up for when you registered to vote, you may find that information at https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/. If you want to vote for a candidate running for president in a different political party, you must re-register to vote with that party by February 18, 2020. To re-register to vote, visit https://registertovote.ca.gov/. No Party Preference Voters: You may vote a No Party Preference ballot or a ballot containing presidential candidates from the Democratic Party, the American Independent Party, or the Libertarian Party. You may select one of these party ballots at your polling place. If you vote by mail, you were sent a postcard to select a party ballot. If you did not return it, use our vote-my-mail ballot application found here: https://www.placerelections.com/Uploads/documents/03032020/03032020_Fillable_VBM_Web_Application.pdf. If you want to vote for a candidate running for president in the Republican Party, the Green Party or the Peace and Freedom Party, you must re-register to vote with that party by February 18, 2020. To re-register to vote, visit https://registertovote.ca.gov/. The rules for presidential primary elections in California can be confusing. If you have any questions about your choices, call the Placer County Elections Office at 530-886-5650 (or toll-free in California at 1-800-824-8683) or email us at [email protected].

TOP

Elections in California

The Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act requires that all candidates for a voter-nominated office be listed on the same ballot. Previously known as partisan offices, voter-nominated offices include state legislative offices, U.S. congressional offices, and state constitutional offices.

In both the open primary and general elections, you can vote for any candidate regardless of what party preference you indicated on your voter registration form. In the primary election, the two candidates receiving the most votes—regardless of party preference—move on to the general election. If a candidate receives a majority of the vote (at least 50 percent +1), a general election still must be held.

California’s open primary system does not apply to candidates running for U.S. President, county central committee, or local offices.

Write-in candidates for voter-nominated offices can still run in the primary election. However, a write-in candidate can only move on to the general election if the candidate is one of the top two vote-getters in the primary election. Additionally, there is no independent nomination process for a general election.

Superintendent of Public Instruction is a nonpartisan office. If a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction were to receive a majority of the vote (at least 50 percent +1) at the primary election, then that candidate would be elected, and no general election would be held. Additional information on nonpartisan offices can be found below.

California law requires the following information to be printed in this guide.

Party-Nominated/Partisan Offices

Political parties may formally nominate candidates for party-nominated/partisan offices at the primary election. A nominated candidate will represent that party as its official candidate for the specific office at the general election and the ballot will reflect an official designation. The top vote-getter for each party at the primary election moves on to the general election. Parties also elect officers of county central committees at the primary election.

A voter can only vote in the primary election of the political party he or she has disclosed a preference for upon registering to vote. However, a political party may allow a person who has declined to disclose a party preference to vote in that party’s primary election.

Voter-Nominated Offices

Political parties are not entitled to formally nominate candidates for voter-nominated offices at the primary election. A candidate nominated for a voter-nominated office at the primary election is the nominee of the people and not the official nominee of any party at the general election. A candidate for nomination to a voter-nominated office shall have his or her qualified party preference, or lack of qualified party preference, stated on the ballot, but the party preference designation is selected solely by the candidate and is shown for the information of the voters only. It does not mean the candidate is nominated or endorsed by the party designated, or that there is an affiliation between the party and candidate, and no candidate nominated by the voters shall be deemed to be the officially nominated candidate of any political party. In the county Voter Information Guide, parties may list the candidates for voter-nominated offices who have received the party’s official endorsement.

Any voter may vote for any candidate for a voter-nominated office, if they meet the other qualifications required to vote for that office. The top two vote-getters at the primary election move on to the general election for the voter-nominated office even if both candidates have specified the same party preference designation. No party is entitled to have a candidate with its party preference designation move on to the general election, unless the candidate is one of the two highest vote-getters at the primary election.

Nonpartisan Offices

Political parties are not entitled to nominate candidates for nonpartisan offices at the primary election, and a candidate at the primary election is not the official nominee of any party for the specific office at the general election. A candidate for nomination to a nonpartisan office may not designate his or her party preference, or lack of party preference, on the ballot. The top two vote-getters at the primary election move on to the general election for the nonpartisan office.

STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE FOR

UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE, 4th

DISTRICT

TOM MCCLINTOCK

Occupation: United States Representative Education and Qualifications: Nations that cannot enforce their borders simply aren't around very long. This election will decide if that is to be America's fate. The Democrats have made clear their desire to decriminalize our immigration laws, cease deportations, and even provide sanctuary to dangerous criminal aliens. I stand with the President in his determination to secure our borders, protect our communities and restore the rule of law before it is too late. This election will also decide whether we succumb to the empty promises of socialism or restore the uniquely American principles of freedom that made ours the happiest and most prosperous nation on earth. The tax cuts and regulatory relief we've won are producing bigger paychecks, better jobs, and long overdue bonuses and raises for American families. We've seen what happens when an all-powerful government tries to command our economic decisions, micro-manage our daily lives and consume more and more of our earnings. Are you better off today than you were four years ago? If so, then why go back? Freedom works. Government over-regulation has made a mess of everything from healthcare and water to electricity and insurance. A healthy, competitive, consumer-driven economy can restore the abundance, excellence and reliability of all those things on which our quality of life depends, and that we once took for granted. You sent me to Washington to fight for these proven policies. I need your support to continue our progress. You can read more at TomMcClintock.com.

JULIANNE BENZEL Age: 48

Occupation: American Historian/Educator Education and Qualifications: Congress needs to change! Congress is supposed to represent "We the People." You and me. However, our dysfunctional Congress has become increasingly detached and indifferent to the majority of Americans. We need to dramatically reverse that trend. I want to fight for your families, freedom, and future. I have lived my entire life in District 4, a vast and beautiful tapestry of rural and suburban America. Critical issues confront the citizens of District 4—the need for sustained economic growth and job opportunities, improved infrastructure, affordable healthcare, and the housing crisis. I will be your advocate on all of these issues and many others. As I have traveled throughout District 4, the most common question asked is: "Where is our voice on the national level? We have no presence here." Our congressional voice should match the greatness of this district. Critical issues have changed, and we can no longer afford a placeholder in office. We need a "firebrand." I am that candidate. I will bring a new voice and mindset to Washington D.C. to advocate for the citizens of District 4. I will view all sides of these critical issues and reach an objective and representative conclusion. My name is Julianne Benzel, and I welcome your vote.

As a businesswoman, I didn't care about Republican or Democratic solutions. I cared about the right solution.

DISTRICT

KEVIN KILEY

Occupation: Member of the Assembly, 6th District Education and Qualifications: It is an honor to represent Placer County in the State Assembly. I was raised here, attended local schools and I am committed to preserving our way of life. California needs common-sense policies to address sky-high taxes, jarring homelessness, deteriorating infrastructure, and rising costs of living. It is unacceptable that the Legislature ignores these serious problems and instead passes bills that drive jobs away and make our state less affordable. I am committed to protecting Prop. 13 and stopping any new tax schemes and am proud to be endorsed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association Pac. As a member of the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee, I am working to reduce the government-imposed costs that make housing unaffordable for too many Californians. I am also working to improve mental health care. Mental illness, along with drug addiction, are major causes of the homeless problem. Power outages should never become a fact of life in the 21st Century. Unfortunately, backwards policies that prevent sound forest management, along with outright neglect of power lines and facilities, have led to tragic wildfires and unacceptable outages. The state and its utility companies must be held accountable and do better. My background and experience includes: Deputy Attorney General and Criminal Prosecutor; 6th District Assembly Representative; High School Teacher and Business Legal Advocate. I'd be honored to receive your vote and pledge to represent you with integrity. Please visit www.ElectKevinKiley.com to learn more.

HOW

HOW TO FILL OUT YOUR BALLOT

Completely darken the oval next to the candidate’s name with blue or black ink.

If you are voting for a qualified write-in candidate, you must complete the oval next to

the blank line AND write the name of the candidate on that line. Unless both of

these steps are completed, your vote for a write-in candidate cannot be

counted.

Remember to vote both sides of the ballot if both sides are printed.

DO NOT make partial marks when you make your selections. X marks, check

marks, and other kinds of partial shading on the ovals are not the right way to fill out

your ballot.

Did you make a mistake marking your ballot?

Lost it? Damaged it? Never received it?

No problem! Here are two options you have:

1. You can request a replacement ballot to be sent to you.

2. You can vote at the Placer County Elections Office in Auburn beginning

February 3, 2020.

Contact the Elections Office if you have any questions. You can find

What is the last day to register to vote?

State law allows voters to register up until 15 days before the election, which means the deadline to

register for the March 3, 2020 Presidential Primary Election is Monday, February 17th. However, due to

the Presidents’ Day holiday, that deadline has moved to Tuesday, February 18th. You must register by

this date in order to receive voting materials in this election. However, Conditional Voter Registration

(CVR) is now in effect in California. Under this law, eligible voters who missed the 15-day registration

deadline can come to the Elections Office between 13 days before Election Day and the day of the

election or to their polling place on Election Day and conditionally register to vote.

When does my ballot get counted?

No ballot can be “counted” until the polls close at 8 pm on Election Day. However, state law allows

county election offices to begin opening and processing vote by mail ballots up to 10 business days before

Election Day.

If you vote by mail, your ballot will usually be processed within 24 hours of arriving at our office.

That means that if you mail your ballot back to us early enough, it will be processed before Election Day

and become part of the results published at 8 pm that night.

If you vote at the polls, your ballot will be counted as soon as your precinct supplies are delivered to

our elections office in Auburn. These results are typically delivered between 10 pm and midnight the night

of the election.

The last ballots to be counted are the mail ballots dropped off at the polls, the ballots delivered by

the post office up to 3 days after the election, and the provisional ballots or CVR ballots cast at polling

places. These ballots are processed during the 30-day period following the election that is known as

“Post-Election Canvass.”

What happens to provisional ballots and CVR ballots after the election? When are they counted?

Every provisional and CVR ballot cast in Placer County is individually reviewed for eligibility after all

materials from the polling places are returned and secured. The most frequent reasons for determining a

provisional or CVR ballot is not eligible to be counted are 1) the voter is not registered in Placer County or

2) the voter cast a ballot through another mechanism (voted by mail or at another precinct). Provisional

and CVR ballots are usually counted within 48 hours after they are deemed eligible.

How do I become a poll worker?

Easy! Depending on space, this guide may include a form for registering to be a poll worker along

with information on the requirements, responsibilities, and payments. If not, simply call or email our office.

I changed my signature since I first registered to vote. Will it matter?

We will make our best effort to match the signature on file to the one we find on the envelope you

use to return the ballot. If for any reason we cannot determine it is a match, state law requires we contact

you by mail with a form you may use to fix this problem so we can process your ballot. If you are unsure of

how you signed your most recent registration, we recommend that you call our office and we will mail you

a voter registration card. Reregistering will allow you to update our records and better match your

signature.

If you wish to return your voted ballot by mail, it must be postmarked by Election Day, March 3rd, and received by the Elections Office no later than Friday, March 6th, in order for your ballot to count. We encourage you to mail your ballot on or before February 25th in order for it to arrive on time. If you wish to return your voted ballot in person, it must be hand-delivered at or before 8:00 PM on Election Day.

Did you know that you can vote by mail in every election?

Would you like to make voting more convenient?

Would you like more time to review your voting

choices in the comfort of your own home?

Some voters may not know that state law allows all voters to receive a ballot by mail. Permanent vote by mail (PVBM) voters begin to receive their ballots in the mail about four weeks prior to every election. This option gives them time to think about their voting choices and return their ballot on or before Election Day. Many voters do not have time to go to their polling place and/or would like to avoid a line. Currently in Placer County, over three-fourths of all registered voters are PVBM voters. To request PVBM status, complete and return the vote by mail application on the back of this sample ballot pamphlet. Make sure to check the box that requests permanent status on the application. Our office will process the application and you will automatically receive a ballot in the mail for each applicable election. If you are already a PVBM voter, then there is no need

to return the application. Your ballot will automatically be mailed to you. State law requires that we terminate your PVBM status if you fail to return an executed vote by mail ballot for four consecutive statewide general elections; in this case, you would need to re-apply for PVBM status. For more information about this service, please call the Placer County Elections Office at 530-886-5650 or toll-free in California at 1-800-824-8683 or visit our website at www.placerelections.com.
