Happy Election Day, California!
We launched Civiq in February, and since then 200M+ audience contacts have been activated through the platform this cycle.
To our clients: thank you for trusting our team. Let's bring it home.

My only hot take for this election:
Getting GOTV text messages from major GOP campaigns on election day after I already voted 6 days ago means that they aren't using the Civiq platform by @optiqdata, and that makes me sad.
At least 390k ballots returned (almost 18% turnout) in the City of Los Angeles from this afternoon's update.
Returned: D+41.2
🔵Dem: 60.3%
🔴Rep: 19.1%
🟣Oth: 20.5%
Turnout in the city of Los Angeles jumps 5% over the weekend, now at 15% with over 330k total returned (+110k from Friday's update).
Returned ballot share was D+36 on Friday and is now sitting around D+40. Final turnout in 2022 Primary in the City of Los Angeles was D+64.

Youth turnout so far in California is absolutely abysmal via @optiqdata
5% turnout statewide
4 % turnout in LA
If you’re a Dem counting on younger voters, your GOTV game better be strong.
Heading into GOTV weekend with over 3 million ballots returned for Tuesday's primary election in California.
13% turnout so far
Dem: 1.4M
Rep: 1.0M
Oth: 620k
We're projecting somewhere around 8 million total votes to be cast for this election, so we've still got a ways to go.
Heading into GOTV weekend in the city of Los Angeles, turnout is at 10% now with over 220k ballots returned so far.
We're expecting there to be around 30% total turnout citywide, so we're probably around 1/3 of what we'll see when all is said and done here.
Based on ballot returns in Los Angeles, the low turnout electorate so far is older, whiter and more male — with Republicans holding +4% turnout edge, per @optiqdata
That favors Pratt. But lotsa Dems are holding onto their ballots, which should (?) lead to blue shift by Tuesday
Over 1 million ballots have been returned so far for the California Primary on our tracker as of late last night📈
Return Share by Party
Democrat: 41.3%
Republican: 37.1%
NPP/Oth: 21.7%
Assembly District 67, which is turning out to be the most expensive race for the legislature this cycle with over $5M spent here (H/T @rpyers and @CATargetBook), is one we're watching.
This district has almost the same amount of Asian (31%) and Hispanic (29%) voters, but Asian ballot returned share is at 36% and Hispanic ballot returned share is at 20%.
City of Los Angeles is starting to pickup a bit now, but we've still got a long ways to go. Current turnout is under 2% so far.
For comparison, here was the final turnout in the city over previous statewide primaries:
2024 Primary: 28% turnout (605k voted)
2022 Primary: 31% (657k)
2020 Primary: 36% (773k)
2018 Primary: 27% (546k)
Just hit over 500k ballots returned so far on the Civiq ballot tracker for the 2026 California Primary election.
Returned: 521k (2.3% turnout)
Dem: 41%
Rep: 36%
Oth: 22%
Finally reached over 1% ballots returned so far for the California Statewide Primary.
We're expecting to see somewhere between 33% to 37% total turnout statewide when all is said and done, so we've got a long ways to go.
