All eligible active and retired CalPERS members will receive a ballot and voting instructions on August 29, 2025. Your ballot will be in a blue envelope.

Inside the blue envelope, you will find three items:

​

Your Candidate Statement Voter Pamphlet – which provides information about the candidates and how to vote. The how-to-vote information is especially important if you haven’t tried the latest online and telephone voting options. These options allow you to cast your vote in seconds from anywhere.

​

Your ballot card – that includes a detachable paper ballot and a unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) that you will need if you are voting online or by phone.
