California's primary election is Tuesday, and voters in Roseville will be able to weigh in on a , a state term-limit reduction, and the offices of superior court judge, , U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.

“It is important for voters to take advantage of the voting rights that allow them to make decisions about who holds political power and how the government operates,” said Jim McCauley, Placer County Registrar of Voters, in a news release. “Voters who fail to practice their right to vote are allowing others to make decisions for them – and they may not be making the decision that you would.”

But before heading to the polls, here are some tips from McCauley to make the experience go as smoothly as possible:

Getting there:

• Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Find your polling place on the back of your sample ballot, by zip code online here, or by calling 530-886-5650.
