Ballots will be mailed April 15, 2022 and votes must be received by May 16, 2022. Votes will be processed beginning May 17, 2022. A runoff election may be held if no candidate receives the majority of votes cast.

The board seat to be elected by active public agency members was previously occupied by Jason Perez, who resigned in June 2021. His four-year term expires on January 15, 2023. The candidate who wins the seat will serve the remaining time on the current term, plus the full four years of the next term.
This board seat represents CalPERS public agency members, so active public agency members are eligible to vote online, by phone, and by mail in this election.
The 13-member CalPERS Board of Administration sets policy and oversees the administration of retirement and health benefits on behalf of California public employers, and their active and retired employees. Under the California Constitution, the CalPERS Board has exclusive authority to administer the CalPERS Pension Fund.
