A sample ballot is a reference copy of your official ballot. You can use it to review and organize your selections before marking your official ballot. A sample ballot is included in your Voter Information Pamphlet and is also available through the Voter Portal. To view and download your sample ballot, log in to the Voter Portal.

A facsimile (reference) ballot is a translated version of your official ballot that helps you understand the ballot in another language. The Department provides facsimile ballots in Bengali, Burmese, Hindi, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Thai, and Urdu. These ballots are for reference only and cannot be used to cast a vote. To view and download a facsimile ballot in one of these languages, log in to the Voter Portal.
