Postcards Go Out to Registered Voters for 80th Assembly District Election
The Registrar of Voters has mailed nearly 250,000 postcards to eligible registered voters informing them of their voting options for the April 5 Special Primary Election for Assembly District 80.
You can choose when, where and how you vote. Elections are no longer a one-day event and there is no need to wait until Election Day to vote.
Ballots have been mailed to eligible registered voters. If you haven’t received yours, contact the Registrar’s office at (858) 565-5800. Once you have your ballot, you can vote from the comfort of your home and return your completed ballot through the mail – no postage needed.
Or you can take your ballot to one of the Registrar’s official ballot drop box locations, or starting March 26, drop it off at any vote center in the district.
If you are dropping off your ballot, check each location’s hours of operation at sdvote.com before heading out. Some ballot drop box locations and the Registrar of Voters office will be closed on Thursday, March 31 in observance of Cesar Chavez Day.
Don’t forget to sign and date your return ballot envelope. Your signature is required for your vote to count.
Voters who return their ballot through the U.S. Postal Service can track it by signing up for “Where’s My Ballot?”.
You can also vote in person. Five vote centers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting Saturday, March 26 until Election Day, Tuesday, April 5, when nine vote centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
You can find a ballot drop box or vote center location near you inside your voter information pamphlet or you can look it up online at sdvote.com.
Only those who live in the state’s 80th Assembly District under the 2011 district boundaries can vote in the election. The district covers portions of southern San Diego County and includes parts of the cities of Chula Vista, National City, and San Diego. If you’re not sure whether you were in the 2011 district boundary, you can look it up at sdvote.com.
This special election is to fill a vacancy in the 80th Assembly District for the remainder of the current term ending in December 2022. Even though recent redistricting changed assembly district borders, the boundaries used when the term began will determine who can vote to fill the seat to complete the term.
