Tuesday is the Last Day to Vote in the Presidential General Election

 

Tuesday, Nov. 5, is the final day to cast your ballot in the Presidential General Election. But voters can still vote early today at any one of more than 200 vote centers or drop off their ballot at any of the Registrar’s 150 official ballot drop boxes around the county.

All will be open on the final day of voting, Nov. 5, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Any voter who is in line at a vote center or an official ballot drop box at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote. However, no one can join the line after the 8 p.m. deadline.

If you’re not registered to vote and want to participate in the election, you may visit any vote center to conditionally register and vote provisionally through Nov. 5.

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.

In preparation for the increased voter turnout, the Registrar’s office has added more vote centers, including six super centers, equipped with additional check-in stations, voting booths, and poll workers.

The super centers are located in:

• Chula Vista: MAAC Community Center, 1387 3rd Ave.
• El Cajon: Wells Park, 1153 E. Madison Ave.
• Encinitas: Encinitas Community Center, Manzanita Room, 1140 Oakcrest Park Dr.
• Kearny Mesa: Registrar of Voters, 5600 Overland Ave.
• San Diego: San Diego LGBT Community Center, 3909 Centre St.
• San Marcos: San Marcos Community Center, Mail Hall, 3 Civic Center Dr.

If you plan to vote in person, be prepared. Read your voter information pamphlet and mark your selections on the sample ballot in advance. When you go inside the voting booth at the vote center, you can refer to your choices on the sample ballot to conveniently mark your selections on your official ballot.
