Voters to receive two-card ballot

As a result of a large number of contests in the Nov. 6 general election, San Diego County registered voters will get a two-card ballot.

Contests will be listed on the front and back of each page, and considering the length of the ballot, the Registrar of Voters is urging voters to plan ahead and save time at the polls.

One way is to vote by mail. People can sign up to be a permanent mail ballot voter at sdvote.com. More than 1.1 million mail ballots will go out to homes starting Monday, Oct. 8. When they arrive, mail ballot voters are urged to act on them as soon as they’ve made their decisions.

There are several advantages to voting by mail. The ballot arrives conveniently in one's mailbox, allowing voters the opportunity to take their time in making decisions in the comfort of their own home.

Voting by mail is secure – simply seal the completed ballot in the provided envelope, sign and date it, add postage and mail it promptly so it is received well before Nov. 6. The two-card ballot does weigh a bit more, so 71 cents in postage will be required.

Voters interested in casting their ballots at their assigned poll place on election day are encouraged to mark their selections on their sample ballot pamphlet before going to the poll. Having a completed sample ballot pamphlet ready upon entering the voting booth allows voters to quickly fill in the official ballot and be on their way.

The polls will be open between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Nov. 6. Poll location is listed on the back of the sample ballot and voter information pamphlet sent to voters' homes. People can also use the polling place locator (www2.sdcounty.ca.gov/rov/Eng/Polling.asp) to find their neighborhood polling place.

For more information, call (858) 565-5800 or visit sdvote.com.
