Staff Report Follow
ROCKLIN, Calif. – The Placer County Elections Office has announced that the canvass and certification of the June 2, 2026 Statewide Direct Primary Election have been completed and that results are now considered official.
With a total of 153,597 votes counted during the primary, Placer County’s turnout percentage of nearly 51.5% is once again well above the current state average of 40.8%. Additionally, the availability of vote-by-mail ballot scanning at Placer County vote centers, which the Elections Office has branded “Sign, Scan & Go!,” continues to be popular with voters, helping Placer County achieve the highest percentage of in-person voting in the state during the last three elections.
Under Chapter 4 of California Elections Code, county elections offices are required to perform several post-election canvassing activities to ensure the accuracy of election results, including a manual tally (i.e., hand count) of randomly selected ballots. More than 5% (nearly 8,000) of all ballots cast in Placer County were included in this manual tally; canvass results demonstrated that ballots were counted correctly and accurately by elections equipment.
Those interested in election results, canvassing policies and procedures, or any other election-related topic can call 1-800-824-8683, email election@placer.ca.gov or visit the Elections Office at 3715 Atherton Road in Rocklin for more information and to have their questions answered.
