San Diego County's top election official expects more than a million people in San Diego County will vote in next week's election. Registrar of Voters Deborah Seiler says her offices are busy as voters cast ballots ahead of November fourth. She says the number of absentee voters will probably grow as the voter turnout grows. However, Seiler says the percentage of the absentee vote will likely shrink as turnout gets larger.
Seiler: In the June election about 60 percent of the votes cast we cast by mail. As opposed to the February primary where we had a higher turnout. It was something like 45 percent.
Seiler says her office has sent out 650,000 mail-in ballots. She says 300,000 of them have been returned. She expected up to 150,000 mail-in ballots to be hand delivered to polls next Tuesday.
