Voter Registration Deadline Is Monday

Registered voters can request mail ballots until November 1

The deadline to register to vote in the presidential election is on Monday, October 24.

Voters will need to register if they:

  • are not currently registered in San Diego County
  • recently moved
  • recently changed his/her name

Voters can check their registration status at sdvote.com, and registration forms can also be found there. Forms can be sent electronically or mailed to the Registrar of Voters.

Residents who don’t have computer access can pick up registration forms at the Registrar’s office, U.S. Postal Service offices, public libraries, City Clerk offices and the DMV. Election materials are also available in Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese.

Registration forms must be postmarked or delivered to the Registrar by October 24. The Registrar of Voters office is open until 8 p.m. Monday, and voters can register online until midnight.

People can vote early at the Registrar’s office at 5600 Overland Avenue in Kearny Mesa. Voters can cast ballots Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Election Day voting hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The polls are open November 5 and 6 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for weekend voting.

Voters can also request mail ballots until November 1.

“Due to the high number of contests, voters will be receiving a ballot that consists of two cards with candidates and issues on the front and the back. With a mail ballot, you can vote in the comfort of your home,” said Registrar Michael Vu. “Once you’ve voted your mail ballot, send it back right away and we’ll start processing it so it can be counted right when the polls close on Election Day.”
