More than 180,000 ballots have been returned with less than a month to go before California’s primary election on June 2, according to a data firm used by political campaigns.

Data from Political Data Inc., as of Friday, showed that nearly 1% of the state’s 22,983,257 ballots had been returned.

The turnout rate for Democrats so far is 0.7% and for Republicans 1.1%. Those who declined to state a party had a turnout rate of 0.6%.

Voters ages 65 and older had a turnout rate of 1.7%, which is the highest.

4. It's too early to worry about how many mail-in ballots have been received

I waiting til the end of the month to return my mail-in ballot, which I'll place in the drop off ballot box in our city's library, because I want to see which two Democratic candidates have the highest poll numbers. I consider which of those two candidates I'll give my vote to to ensure at least one Democrat is in the general election. If both Democratic candidates are leading then the one in second place will get my vote to make sure both in the general election.

5. Put mine in the mail this afternoon

Most of the state offices were easy: eliminating Republicans and Greens ("Getting Republicans Elected Every November&quot winnows it down a lot. Tax Board and Insurance Inspector were the hard ones.

6. We're not mailing ours until after memorial day. We need to see which democrat is polling the highest at that point

and all vote for that person even if it's not your desired candidate. Otherwise we're going to end up with two republicans as our choices in November.
