The San Diego County Registrar of Voters office is sending over 1.9 million postcards to the county’s registered voters this week. The “VOTE! MORE DAYS. MORE WAYS.” postcards are being sent nearly 100 days before the election to remind voters of their voting options for the November Presidential General Election.

Every active registered voter will automatically receive a ballot in the mail and will have three options for returning that ballot: by mail, to one of the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes, or at any vote center. Voters can expect to receive their ballots the week of Oct. 6, giving them nearly a month to mark their ballots and return them by the final day of voting on Nov. 5.

"Elections are no longer a one-day event and there is no need to wait until the final day to vote," stated an official from the Registrar's office.

Due to the large number of contests on the ballot, it may take longer for voters to complete their ballots. For those who wish to vote in person and avoid long lines, select vote centers will offer early voting starting Saturday, Oct. 26. These centers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Starting Saturday, Nov. 2, over 200 vote centers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., until the final day of voting on Tuesday, Nov. 5, when all vote centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Registrar’s office anticipates opening 146 official ballot drop boxes starting Oct. 8. A list of official ballot drop boxes and vote centers will be available in September at sdvote.com.

"Be vote ready!" urged another representative from the Registrar's office.
