Vote Early in San Diego the Weekend Before the Election

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

San Diego voters looking to avoid possible long lines on Election Day can head to the polls this weekend to cast their ballot. 

The San Diego Registrar of Voters office will be open Saturday and Sunday for residents who would like to vote early. 

NBC 7’s Rory Devine heard from early voters at the Registrar of Voters Office who say they don’t trust polling places or the U.S. Postal Service.

“Long lines may be an issue on Election Day as voters fill out the longer, two-card ballot,” said San Diego County Registrar of Voters Michael Vu in a statement. “Weekend voting gives voters yet another option to cast their ballots or drop off their mail ballots before Election Day.”

This is the first year San Diegans will fill out a two-card ballot, because of the large number of contests on the Nov. 8 election. On the ballot this year, there are over 180 decisions to make when voting.

Jerry Bob and Patty Beasley are warning others after one of their mail-in ballots came as one piece instead of two. NBC 7’s Rory Devine is here to fill you in.

County officials are urging residents to plan ahead, do research and mark up a sample ballot before coming in to vote. 

The office is located at 5600 Overland Avenue, San Diego, 92123 on the County Operations Center campus. 

On both Saturday and Sunday, the office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

If you have a mail-in ballot, you can drop it off at a number of locations across the county, including outside the registrar's office this weekend, on Monday or on Election Day. 

Election officials are preparing to send out a record-number of mail-in ballots, including to voters in San Diego County. NBC 7’S Chris Chan reports.
