CA gubernatorial candidates rally in Bay Area as vote-by-mail ballots arrive ahead of June primary

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Multiple candidates in the California governor's race are in the Bay Area this weekend trying to make an impression on voters just one month away from the June primary.

Meanwhile, ballots are already arriving in mailboxes for registered voters. With that said, registered voters: check your mailbox now for your vote-by-mail ballot.

"I just saw a San Mateo County voter cast a mail-in ballot today at one of our drop boxes," said Jim Irizarry, assistant chief elections officer in San Mateo County. "Approximately 95% to 96% of ballots cast in San Mateo County are vote-by-mail. But that varies from election to election."

The League of Women Voters San Francisco -- a non-partisan, non-profit organization that educates voters about what's on their ballot -- reminds you that you can register to vote-by-mail until May 18.

"It makes it really convenient and makes sure people can participate in our democracy," said Alison Goh with League of Women Voters, SF.

Remember to sign the back of your envelope before dropping off your ballot at a ballot box or at a USPS box.

After May 18, you can register and vote in person until June 2.

You can always track your ballot online.

"(Look at) WhereIsMyBallot.com.sos.ca.gov. It allows you to see where it is in the process--whether it's been accepted, opened, scanned, and finally, whether your vote has been counted," Goh said.

Candidates for California governor are rallying hard to garner the most votes in the June primary.

Saturday night, Republican Steve Hilton talked to supporters in San Francisco at his "Califordible Town Hall."

"We know it can be better, because it was better before the Democrats took over, and it's going to be better again starting next year in January," Hilton said.

Former HHS Secretary, Democrat Xavier Becerra, addressed supporters Saturday in Los Angeles.

"We're going to make sure Californians have the healthcare. We need, and we're marching toward universal coverage for all of our families," Becerra said.

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan rallied on Saturday in the South Bay and posted on Facebook: "San Jose showed up today."

Billionaire Tom Steyer spent the morning in SF Chinatown with former candidate Betty Yee, hosted by Chinese Hospital.

As candidates continue to fill the airwaves with political ads, there's still time to sway voters before the June 2 primary.
