SLO County Elections Office to offer early in-person voting on May 30

SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — The San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder-Elections Office will offer early in-person voting on Saturday, May 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the County Government Center ahead of the June 2 Statewide Direct Primary Election.

Election officials said the Saturday hours are intended to provide voters with a convenient option to cast ballots early while also ensuring their votes are included in Election Night results. Voters who appear in person can have their signature verified on-site and vote at the counter, eliminating the need for a return envelope.

“We’re excited to be able to offer this new voting option,” said Clerk-Recorder Elaina Cano.  “Importantly, ballots cast in person at our office will be counted on Election Night, just like the ballots cast at the polls. Voting this way means that your vote is included in those Election  Night results, not added to the total in the days afterward.”

Officials also reminded voters that mail ballots can still be dropped off at secure drop boxes, polling places, or exchanged for a precinct ballot on Election Day.

The Elections Office said the expanded early voting option is designed to encourage voters to complete the process ahead of Tuesday and support more timely reporting of election results.
