The San Diego County Registrar of Voters office sent over 2 million postcards to the County’s registered voters listing their voting options for the Nov. 4 special election.
Every active registered voter will receive a ballot in the mail and will have three options for returning their ballot: by mail, to one of the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes or at any vote center. Voters can expect to receive their ballot the week of Oct. 6, giving them nearly a month to mark their ballot and return it by the final day of voting on Nov. 4.
Voters throughout the state will decide whether to adopt Proposition 50, an amendment to the State Constitution related to redistricting. You can learn more about the proposition on the California Secretary of State’s website.
Voters who reside in the City of Poway’s Council District 2 will have an additional question on their ballot. Poway District 2 voters will decide whether to remove their elected representative on the city council from office. Only voters living in Council District 2 are eligible to vote on this contest. If you’re not sure whether you live in the district, you can look it up at sdvote.com.
Early voting begins Monday, Oct. 6, at the Registrar of Voters office in Kearny Mesa, located at 5600 Overland Ave., San Diego. The Registrar’s office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, the Registrar encourages voters to take advantage of the convenience of voting by mail.
You can vote at home and return your voted ballot through the mail – no postage needed – or drop it off at any of the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes starting Tuesday, Oct. 7, through Election Day, Nov. 4. Visit sdvote.com for a list of locations and hours of operation.
If you want to vote in person, take advantage of early voting. Starting Saturday, Oct. 25, select vote centers located around the county will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Starting on Saturday, Nov. 1, all vote centers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. On the final day of voting, Nov. 4, all vote centers, official ballot drop boxes and the Registrar’s office will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
