Don’t forget to vote! Nov. 3 is Election Day and it is not too late to make your voice heard in your local community. Polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
If you are a registered voter in the City of Turlock, you have received your sample ballot with information regarding candidates to vote on.
Specific to Turlock, ballots will include those candidates running for Director, Division 1, of Turlock Irrigation District.
Residents will have the opportunity to choose a new Director for Turlock Irrigation district. Michael Frantz and Tracy Sunde are the two vying for this position. For more information on candidates, visit http://stanvote.com/pdf/candidate-list.pdf.
Due to the lack of candidates running for the Board of Directors in the Turlock Unified School District, the information for candidates will not be included on the ballot.

Ballots that are vote-by-mail or absentee must be received by the Stanislaus County Elections Office before polls close at 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. Any ballots received past the 8 p.m. deadline will not be counted.
If voting by mail, make sure your ballot has been sent out prior to Nov. 3 in order to be received by the elections office, as your ballot will not be counted at this point if mailed in.

If you are unable to return your ballot yourself, an authorized relative or person living in your household may return the ballot.
