Voting begins in San Diego County for Nov 5 election

Over 1.9 million ballots have been sent out to registered voters in the county for the November 5 Presidential General Election.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — The ballots are on their way to the nearly 2 million registered voters in San Diego County.  Voters should receive their ballots via mail the week of October 7.  

The Registrar’s office says that it may take more time than usual to vote and they recommend voting early due to the high number of contests on this year's ballot.  

You can vote from home and return your ballot through the mail – no postage needed – but your signature is required on the return envelope for your vote to count.  You can also return your ballot to any of the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes starting Tuesday, Oct. 8 through the final day of voting Tuesday, Nov. 5.'

Voting in person

You can vote in person when early voting begins Monday, Oct. 7 at the Registrar of Voters office in Kearny Mesa from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Additional options will begin Saturday, Oct. 26 at 39 vote centers. They will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On Saturday, Nov. 2, over 200 vote centers will be open. All of the locations will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Nov. 4. On the final day of voting, Tuesday, Nov. 5, all vote centers and official ballot drop boxes will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Voters who return their ballot through the U.S. Postal Service can track it by signing up for “Where’s My Ballot?”.
