This is a vote by mail election, but if you need to vote in person, you can do so at the Registrar of Voters office in Kearny Mesa from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 18. On the final day of voting, Sept. 19, the Registrar’s office will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Only those who live in the district can vote in the election. If you’re not registered to vote and want to participate in the election, you may visit the Registrar’s office to conditionally register and vote provisionally through Sept. 19.
Once the voter registration is processed and the Registrar’s office confirms the voter did not vote elsewhere in the district, the voter registration becomes active and the provisional ballot is counted.
The person elected will fill Trustee Area One’s vacant seat for the remainder of the current term ending December 2026. Only those who live in the district can vote in the election. Check your district at sdvote.com.
