Sending in a Mail-In Ballot? You'll Need A Few Extra Cents

If you are planning on sending in your mail-in ballot this election year, you'll need a few extra cents. 

Because the ballot is two pages, it will cost 67 cents to mail back, not just the regular 47 cent postage, the San Diego County Registrar of Voters says. 

If you cannot pay the difference, the registrar will pay the extra 20 cents. They say they do not want ballots tossed aside just because there is not nough postage. 

The San Diego County Registrar of Voters is sending a record-breaking number of mail-in ballots this year. 

The 960,000 ballots being mailed to more than 60 percent of voters in San Diego County represents the highest number of mail-in ballots ever sent by the registrar, staffers tell NBC 7 San Diego.

On the ballot this year, there are over 180 decisions to make when voting.

The registrar wants to remind voters that mailing in ballots early allows the county to release the results right after polls close on November 8.

It's still not too late to register to vote and get your mail in ballot.
