Ballots arrive for Presidential General Election
More than 1.9 million ballots have been mailed to San Diego County’s registered voters for the November Presidential General Election. Voters should have received their ballots by now in the mail.
With a significant number of contests on the ballot, the voting process may take longer than usual so the San Diego County Registrar’s office recommends voting early.
You can vote from home and then return your ballot through the mail – no postage needed – or to any of the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes now through the final day of voting Tuesday, Nov. 5. An official ballot drop box is located at the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library, 10301 Scripps Lake Drive (open 24 hours Nov. 4 and closing at 8 p.m. Nov. 5, Election Day, according to the voter information pamphlet.)
Remember to sign and date your return ballot envelope. You must sign your return envelope for your vote to be counted.
Voters can also vote in person at the Registrar of Voters office in Kearny Mesa, 5600 Overland Avenue. Hours run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
Additional options to vote in person will begin Saturday, Oct. 26 with the opening of 39 vote centers. They will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Vote centers open Nov. 2-5 in Scripps Ranch will be at the Jerabek Elementary School teachers lounge, 10050 Avenido Magnifica; Scripps Ranch Estates Crown Point Clubhouse, 11441 Caminito Magnifica; and Scripps Ranch Recreation Center, 11454 Blue Cypress Drive.
On Saturday, Nov. 2, more than 200 voting 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.
If you plan on voting in person, be prepared. Read your pamphlet and mark your selections on the sample ballot in advance. When you go inside the voting booth at the vote center, you can refer to your choices on the sample ballot to conveniently mark your selections on your official ballot.
You can find a vote center or an official ballot drop box near you inside your voter information pamphlet, or at sdvote.com.
