San Diego County Residents Have One Week Left To Register To Vote

San Diego County residents have one more week to register to vote in the June 3 primary election, Registrar of Voters Michael Vu said Monday.

"If you've moved recently or changed your name you'll need to fill out a new registration form, " Vu said. "If you go online, the process is quick, easy and convenient. "

The online form at www.sdvote.com is provided in English, Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese.

If the applicant's signature is confirmed through Department of Motor Vehicles records, it will automatically be sent to the registrar. If the signature is not confirmed, the voter will be instructed to print the form, sign it and mail it to the registrar.

For voters without access to a computer, the forms are also available at the Registrar of Voters office, U.S. Post Offices, city clerk offices, public libraries and Department of Motor Vehicles offices.

All forms must be postmarked or delivered to the registrar of voters no later than midnight on May 19.

The deadline to apply for a mail ballot is May 27, according to Vu.

The primary election includes races for governor and other statewide offices; a congressional campaign between Rep. Scott Peters, D-San Diego, former City Councilman Carl DeMaio, businessman Kirk Jorgensen and surgeon Dr. Fred Simon Jr.; a battle for county supervisor between incumbent Bill Horn and Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood; a challenge to District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis from lawyer Robert Brewer and ex-prosecutor Terri Wyatt; and council races in several San Diego County cities.

You are part of something bigger. A neighborhood, a community, a county, a state, a country. All of these places are made stronger when we engage with each other in conversation and participate in local decision-making. But where and how to start? Introducing Public Matters.
