June 2 Primary Election:
Candidates, Measures & Voting Resources
The June 2, 2026 Primary Election is an important opportunity for Contra Costa voters to help shape representation and policy at the federal, state, county, and local levels. To help members and residents prepare, CCAR has created a nonpartisan election guide with essential voting information, context on key contests and ballot measures, and links to official resources.
Whether voting by mail, returning a ballot in person, or heading to the polls on Election Day, this guide is designed to make it easier to understand what’s on the ballot and participate with confidence.

Don’t miss these opportunities to get engaged and be ready to vote on June 15.
CA Law – Sexual Harassment Training Required Every 2 Years
Reminder: State law requires Designated Brokers to complete supervisory sexual harassment training and provide employees with access to training.
Additionally, salespeople, brokers, broker associates, and independent contractors are now personally liable for sexual harassment in professional relationships with clients—even if the relationship has ended.
Risk Management Tip:
The responsible broker and anyone supervising agents or employees—including those who hire, fire, reward, or discipline—should also complete supervisory training.
