Decision 2024: What to Know

Starting Saturday, more than 200 polling places will be open for San Diego voters to cast their ballot early and in-person for the 2024 Presidential Election.

Early voting has been underway for weeks. Even before hundreds of San Diego County Vote Centers opened on Nov. 2, dozens of early voting sites were available for local voters. But now, there are hundreds of options to choose from.

The centers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Nov. 4 and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. Here's what you should know.

What is a Vote Center?

Vote centers have replaced polling places and provide multiple services, such as allowing for in-person voting or dropping off ballots, voting using an accessible ballot marking device, receiving assistance in multiple languages and registering to vote or updating voter registration to vote the same day.

Election materials are available in Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese.

County staff remind the public that campaigning or electioneering within 100 feet of a vote center or official ballot drop box is illegal.

Where can I find a vote center?

San Diego County has hundreds of locations across San Diego County. It is not necessary to go to a specific polling place. Instead, voters can head to the location most convenient for them to vote in person, drop off their completed mail ballots, or register to vote as a conditional voter.

Voters can check whether they are registered here.

Early voting has begun, with mail-in ballots already sent to every registered voter. The registrar's office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and people can also vote early in person there.

On Nov. 5, Election Day, all vote centers and ballot drop boxes will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
