If you’re a registered voter in the Fourth Supervisorial District and haven’t cast your ballot yet, you’ll soon get a reminder from the Registrar’s office that you have just over one week to cast your ballot for the Aug. 15 special primary election.

The Registrar sent nearly 400,000 reminder postcards to registered voters in District 4 who had not voted as of July 26.

Don’t delay! You can vote from home and return your ballot through the mail – no postage needed. Remember to sign and date your return ballot envelope. You must sign the return ballot envelope for your vote to count.

You also have the option to use one of the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes. The secure stand-alone boxes feature the Registrar’s logo along with the County seal and are labeled “Official Ballot Drop Box.” Find one close to you through the Registrar’s online locator tool or inside your voter information pamphlet. Check each location’s hours of operation before heading out at sdvote.com.

The sooner the Registrar’s office receives your ballot, the sooner it is processed for the first release of election night results.

If you want to vote in person, that option is available too. Avoid long lines by taking advantage of early voting. Starting Saturday, Aug. 5, seven vote centers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until the final day of voting on Tuesday, Aug. 15, when 14 vote centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

All vote center locations and the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes will be open on Election Day, Aug. 15, when voting hours change to 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

You can find a complete list of vote center and ballot drop box locations at sdvote.com.
