Important deadline for June election

The deadline to apply for a mail ballot for the June 5 gubernatorial primary election is Tuesday, May 29. You can apply at http://www.sdvote.com or use the application on the back of the sample ballot and voter information pamphlet.

Voters can also request a mail ballot by sending a letter to the Registrar of Voters with their name, registered address, the name and date of the election, the address where the ballot is to be mailed and their signature. Send forms to Registrar of Voters, 5600 Overland Ave., San Diego, CA 92123, email [email protected] or fax (858) 694-2955.

As a third option, residents can request a mail ballot by phone at (858) 565-5800. The request applies only to the June 5 election and the voter must personally make the call. All applications must be in-house at the registrar’s office by 5 p.m., May 29. Postmarks cannot be accepted. Voters who are already signed up to vote permanently by mail do not need to reapply.

For voters who need language assistance, election materials are also available in Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese.
