How to Vote 6/2
Write In on the June 2 Primary
Sean Forbes
For Governor of California
Primary Election · Tuesday, June 2, 2026
Print it. Share it. Hand it out.
Writing In Sean Forbes Is Easy.
Five simple rules. Follow them and your vote counts.
Write Sean Forbes on the Write-In Line
Find the line marked WRITE-IN under Governor and print Sean Forbes clearly.
Handwrite Only — No Stickers, Stamps, or Labels
By statute, pressure-sensitive stickers, glued stamps, and any other device not provided for in the voting procedures are not counted. Mark the ballot the way its instructions tell you.
Don't Also Mark a Printed Candidate
Marking a printed name and writing in another is an overvote — neither vote counts for that office. Write in Sean Forbes and leave the printed bubbles blank.
Your Vote Goes on the Record
All valid write-ins are tabulated and certified by elections officials on prescribed forms and added to the official precinct returns.
If There's a Bubble Next to the Write-In Line, FILL THE BUBBLE
This is the one that trips people up most. When a voting space is provided next to the write-in line, the law requires you to mark it. Writing the name alone is not enough — you must fill the bubble and write the name.
Vote Sean Forbes — Write Him In on June 2
Fill the bubble. Print the name. Make it count.
