What’s On Dublin’s June 2 Ballot

Dublin voters are casting ballots on Tuesday, June 2, in California’s direct primary election, with contests for governor, U.S. House, state legislative seats and county offices on the ballot. Alameda County is running the election locally, and the county registrar says Election Day voting is taking place as part of the June 2, 2026 Direct Primary Election. (acvote.alamedacountyca.gov) California Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s office says the ballot includes voter-nominated statewide offices, 52 U.S. House seats, 80 State Assembly seats and 20 even-numbered State Senate districts. In Alameda County, voters can also use the county’s voter profile tool to look up polling places, sample ballots and vote-by-mail status.

California’s June 2 primary includes governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, controller, treasurer, attorney general, insurance commissioner and Board of Equalization seats, according to the Secretary of State’s certified candidate announcement. The same primary also covers all 52 U.S. House districts, all 80 State Assembly districts and 20 State Senate districts. Dublin voters are also voting in Alameda County races that vary by district and ballot style. Alameda County’s elections office says voters can use the My Voter Profile tool to see which districts they are eligible to vote in and to download their sample ballot.

California’s 14th Congressional District includes portions of Dublin, along with all of Livermore, Pleasanton, Union City and Hayward and parts of Fremont, according to KQED’s Alameda County voter guide. That means many Dublin voters will see the District 14 U.S. House race on their ballot. The District 14 seat had been held by Eric Swalwell since 2013, KQED said, but he did not seek reelection after running for governor and later resigned in April. (sos.ca.gov) KQED said that resignation triggered a separate special primary on June 16 to fill the remainder of the term, while the June 2 primary will decide the two candidates who advance to the November general election for the next full term. (acgov.org) KQED listed Aisha Wahab, Matt Ortega, Rakhi Israni Singh, Melissa Hernandez, Carin Elam, Suzanne Chenault, Wendy Huang and Dena Maldonado among the key District 14 candidates. Patch’s Alameda voter guide also listed District 14 as a race to watch in the county. (kqed.org) ### What about the governor’s race? Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s office said more than 60 candidates were certified for California’s gubernatorial primary ballot. Patch’s Alameda voter guide said ballots would carry the names of more than 60 candidates in the race to succeed outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom. (kqed.org) California uses a top-two primary system for voter-nominated offices. Weber’s office said any voter can choose any candidate in those races regardless of party preference, and the top two vote-getters advance to the Nov. 3, 2026 general election. (kqed.org) ### Are there local Alameda County contests on the ballot too? Alameda County voters are also weighing county and education races, though the exact lineup depends on where they live. Ballotpedia’s county election page lists Alameda County district attorney and county superintendent of schools among the June 2 contests, along with some judicial and special district races. (sos.ca.gov) KQED’s Alameda County guide highlighted the district attorney race and said Ursula Jones Dickson is running to keep the job while former District Attorney Pamela Price is seeking to return. The guide also pointed voters to countywide information on candidates, issues and polling places. (sos.ca.gov) ### Where can Dublin voters check their exact ballot and voting options? Alameda County’s elections office says the My Voter Profile tool lets voters look up their polling place, download a sample ballot, check vote-by-mail status, change language preference and confirm eligible districts. The county also says local elections are run by the Alameda County Registrar of Voters. (ballotpedia.org) The California Secretary of State says polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on June 2, and vote-by-mail ballots must be postmarked no later than June 2. The state also says voters who missed the May 18 registration deadline can still complete same-day voter registration through Election Day at their county elections office or any in-person voting location in their county. (kqed.org) Alameda County’s elections site says Election Day is Tuesday, June 2, and notes that the next major date on the county calendar is the June 16, 2026 special primary for Congressional District 14. Results and ballot tracking information are available through the county elections office and voter profile tools. (acvote.alamedacountyca.gov) (sos.ca.gov) (acgov.org)
