Sacramento County, California – Sacramento County’s June primary is now officially in the books, and the numbers tell a familiar California story: plenty of big races, a long ballot, and nearly half of registered voters deciding who moves into November.
The county’s Voter Registration and Elections office certified the June 2, 2026, Statewide Direct Primary Election results after 404,964 ballots were cast from 917,930 registered voters. That put turnout at 44.12%, a sizable primary showing for an election that stretched from the governor’s race down to county offices.
