Today is the last day for San Diego County voters to cast their ballots in the Gubernatorial Primary election.
Any one of the 218 vote centers or 132 official ballot drop box locations in San Diego County will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters who are at a vote center or a drop box location at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote, but nobody will be able to participate if they join the line past the 8 p.m. deadline.
The California Voters Choice Act has modernized elections in the state by allowing counties to conduct elections that allow greater flexibility for voters. Registered voters are allowed to vote up to 30 days in advance of election day.
The county has mailed out more than 1.9 million ballots to registered voters in early May. Earlier this month, the county sent out over 1.8 million reminder postcards to those who had not voted as of May 20.
Those who are unregistered to vote and want to participate in the election can visit any vote center to conditionally register and vote provisionally through Election Day. Once the voter registration is processed and the Registrar’s office confirms the voter did not vote elsewhere in the state, the voter registration becomes active, and the provisional ballot is counted.
According to the county, vote centers replace polling places and provide more services such as voting in-person or dropping off a mail-in ballot, Vote using an accessible marking device, receiving assistance and voting materials in multiple languages, registering to vote, or updating registration and vote the same day.
