Reading Time: < 1 minute

If you want to vote in the comfort of your own home, you only have a few days left to request a mail ballot for the June 5 Presidential Primary Election. The application must be received by May 29.

There are several ways to apply:

  • Complete the application included on the back of the sample ballot and voter information pamphlet mailed to each registered voter.
  • Download an application from the Registrar of Voters’ website at sdvote.com.
  • Fax or mail a letter to the Registrar of Voters. The request must include the voter’s name, registered address, name and date of the election, the address where the ballot is to be mailed, and the voter’s signature.

Applications and letters can be faxed to (858) 694-2955 or sent to the Registrar of Voters at P.O. Box 85520, San Diego, CA 92186-5520.

By state law, applications must be physically received by the Registrar of Voters no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29. They cannot be simply postmarked on that date.

Those who miss the deadline can vote in person at the Registrar of Voters office at 5201 Ruffin Road, Suite I, in Kearny Mesa beginning May 7, or at their neighborhood election poll on June 5.
