⌛️ Voting in the CA Primary is officially over. Why are some races taking longer to count than others 🤔? ✉️ California relies heavily on mail ballots. With early voting at less than 20% on Election Day, many ballots were cast at the last minute. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

Californians in SD 16 deserve a progressive state senator who challenges the status quo 📣. Courage California endorses Manpreet Kaur to deliver that progress 💪🏽. Being the incumbent isn't enough to make a candidate stand out; it's all in the voting records. ➡️ CourageVoterGuide.org

6,234,365 ballots were mailed out to voters ages 18-34, more than any voting age group in CA. E-Day is ONE day away, and only 335,407 of those ballots have been returned. And it’s SCARY. In comparison, 1.7 million of the 5,966,080 ballots that went to voters ages 65+ have been returned.

Still unsure about the candidates on your ballot 🤔? The #CourageVoterGuide doesn't just recommend who to vote for. Each write-up includes information about the candidates, district, and funding. ⚠️ The last day to vote in the California Primary Election is June 2, 2026. CourageVoterGuide.org

⭐️ The #CourageVoterGuide covers over 200 down-ballot races in the California June 2 Primary Election. That's too many to fit in one post! Here are our progressive voter recommendations for statewide and congressional races:

🗳️ Primary elections have less voter turnout than general elections, which means some races can be decided by just a handful of votes 🧮. ⚠️ In California, primary election voters will narrow a crowded governor's race down from 61 candidates to only 2.

⚠️ Reminder: Vote early and return your mail-in ballot before the June 2 California Primary Election Day. Voting early ensures that your ballot is received and counted due to recent postal changes that delay postmark and delivery. For more resources on how to vote: bit.ly/cci-howtovote

📬 Did you return your ballot already for the CA primary? ⚠️ Due to recent changes in USPS policies, some ballots may take up to a week to arrive at your county elections office. Track your ballot and see when it is mailed, received, and counted ➡️ WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov

🚨Due to USPS process changes, mail that is dropped off at post offices and mail collection boxes more than 50 miles from a U.S. Postal Service regional hub are now collected the next day. ‼️Waiting until election day to mail back your ballot could potentially risk and invalidate your vote.
