Voter information pamphlets are on their way to the County’s over 2 million registered voters for the Nov. 4 special election.
The pamphlets contain information on voting options, election deadlines and more. They also include a sample ballot of what your official one will look like. Additionally, voters can find a list of official ballot drop boxes and vote centers inside their voter information pamphlet or online at sdvote.com.
Voters may also look up their pamphlets online with the View Voter Information Pamphlet (Sample Ballot) tool at sdvote.com.
If you signed up to get your voter information pamphlet electronically, you should have received an email giving you the same information and a link to your pamphlet.
Voters who want to be among the first to see their pamphlet every election can sign up to receive all future pamphlets electronically. Voters who take this option will no longer receive a paper copy in the mail but will get an email when the pamphlet becomes available online.
Every active registered voter will receive a ballot in the mail and will have three options for returning their ballot: by mail, to one of the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes or at any vote center. Voters can expect to receive their ballot the week of Oct. 6, giving them nearly a month to mark their ballot and return it by the final day of voting on Nov. 4.
Voters throughout the state will decide whether to adopt Proposition 50, an amendment to the State Constitution related to redistricting. You can learn more about the proposition in the California Voter Information Guide.
Voters who reside in the City of Poway’s Council District 2 will have an additional question on their ballot. Poway District 2 voters will decide whether to remove their elected representative on the city council from office. Only voters living in Poway’s Council District 2 are eligible to vote on this contest. If you’re not sure whether you live in the district, you can look it up at sdvote.com.
Early voting begins Monday, Oct. 6, at the Registrar of Voters office in Kearny Mesa, located at 5600 Overland Ave., San Diego. The Registrar’s office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, the Registrar encourages voters to take advantage of the convenience of voting by mail.
You can vote at home and return your voted ballot through the mail – no postage needed – or drop it off at any of the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes starting Tuesday, Oct. 7, through Election Day, Nov. 4. Visit sdvote.com for a list of locations and hours of operation.
