Nearly 2 million ballots have been mailed to registered voters in San Diego County for November’s presidential election.
Ballots are expected to arrive in voters’ mailboxes next week, along with an “I Voted” sticker, the county Registrar of Voters said Friday.
The county urged voters to cast their ballots early, as the large number of contests may force the registrar to take longer tallying them.
To vote remotely, residents can either return the ballot through the mail, with no postage required, or bring completed ballots to any of the registrar’s official drop boxes, which open Tuesday.
For those who prefer to vote in person, ballots can be turned in at the registrar’s office in Kearny Mesa as soon as Monday. The hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
A total of 39 vote centers will open Oct. 26 with daily hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Nov. 2, more than 200 vote centers will open.
On Election Day, Nov. 5, all vote centers and official ballot drop boxes will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Voters who return their ballot through the mail can track it by signing up online for “Where’s My Ballot?”
Lists of vote centers or official ballot drop boxes also can be found inside the voter information pamphlet.
