Mail ballot voters taking part in the Feb. 23 Carlsbad Special Municipal Election on Measure A, the Agua Hedionda South Shore Specific Plan, will soon have another option for delivering their completed mail ballots.
They can mail them in, drop them off at Registrar’s Office in Kearny Mesa, or starting Tuesday, Feb. 16, take their mail ballots to a drop-off location in Carlsbad.
Registrar of Voters staff members will accept the mail ballots from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Monday, Feb. 22 at the Hoehn Honda dealership located at 5454 Paseo Del Norte. They’ll also give out “I Voted” stickers. Registrar employees will follow specific protocols during the seven days leading up to Election Day to maintain security. Registered voters can request a mail ballot until Feb. 16.
“This drop-off site will help with the timely return of mail ballots and decrease the high volume of voters dropping off mail ballots on Election Day,” said Registrar of Voters Michael Vu.
The quick return of mail ballots speeds up the overall counting process because they can be prepared before Election Day saving time and taxpayer dollars.
The Hoehn Honda drop-off location is not an early voting location, but for mail ballots only.
Carlsbad mail ballots are already being accepted during regular business hours at the Registrar’s office in Kearny Mesa.
Early voting is also underway at the Registrar’s office located at 5600 Overland Ave., San Diego, 92123 on the County Operations Center campus. Voters can cast their ballots there from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday until Election Day when the voting hours will change to 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. to reflect the hours at the polls.
