If you’re not sure about your registration, check your status online at sdvote.com. If you’re not registered or need to change your registration, you’ll find that form there, too.
REGISTER ONLINE Voters may register online until midnight. To register online you will need
- Your California driver license or California identification card number,
- The last four digits of your social security number and
- Your date of birth.
Your information will be provided to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to retrieve a copy of your DMV signature. If your signature is confirmed through records at the Department of Motor Vehicles, it will automatically be sent to the Registrar’s office. If your signature is not confirmed, you can print the form, sign it and mail it to the Registrar. If you do not have a California driver license or California identification card, you can still use this form to apply to register to vote by completing the online interview by 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the 15th calendar day before an election.

For voters without access to a computer, registration forms are also available at the offices of the Registrar of Voters, U.S. Postal Service, City Clerk, public libraries and Department of Motor Vehicles. For voters who need language assistance, election materials are also available in Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese.
Registration forms must be postmarked Oct. 22 OR delivered to the Registrar by Oct. 22.
MAIL BALLOTS
There is still time to apply for a mail ballot if that is more convenient. Registered voters can request a mail ballot until Oct. 30.
VOTING
The Registrar of Voters office will be open until 8 p.m. that day.
Early voting is already underway at the Registrar’s office in Kearny Mesa, located on the County Operation Center campus at 5600 Overland Ave., San Diego, 92123.
Voters can cast their ballots there from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday until Election Day, when the voting hours will change to 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. to reflect the hours at the polls.
The Registrar will also be open between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3 and Sunday, Nov. 4 for weekend voting.
“Due to the high number of contests, voters will be receiving a ballot that consists of two cards with candidates and issues on the front and the back. With a mail ballot, you can take the time you need and vote in the comfort of your home,” said Registrar Michael Vu. “Once you’ve marked your mail ballot, mail it back right away and we’ll start processing it so it can be counted right when the polls close on Election Day.”
