Summary
Voting in the 2024 California General Election is a critical civic duty, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day, November 5. Californians will have the opportunity to vote on various races, including the presidential election, U.S. Senate, Congressional seats, and ten statewide propositions.
As Election Day coincides with a weekday, many voters may find it challenging to allocate time for casting their ballots. California law allows employees to take time off work to vote, but the specifics can vary by employer. Voters are encouraged to plan ahead, whether that means arriving early at polling places or utilizing extended lunch breaks. In addition to in-person voting, many Californians have opted to mail in their ballots, which can be tracked for peace of mind. For those heading to the polls, it’s important to be aware of the regulations regarding campaign materials, as wearing items that promote candidates or measures is prohibited within polling locations.
