San Diego, CA–Early voting for the special election in San Diego County’s First Supervisorial District has begun with seven vote centers opening across the district, county officials announced.
Residents can vote in person or drop off mail ballots at any of the seven vote centers, which will operate daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through June 30. Voters are advised to check vote center locations, as some have changed since the April primary.
Current Vote Center Locations:
- Bonita Vista Middle School Cafeteria, 650 Otay Lakes Rd., Chula Vista
- Chula Vista City Hall, 276 4th Ave., Chula Vista
- MAAC Community Center, 1387 3rd Ave., Chula Vista
- South Bay Union School District Burress Auditorium, 601 Elm Ave., Imperial Beach
- Mountain View Community Center (Back Meeting Room), 641 South Boundary St., San Diego
- San Ysidro Senior Center, 125 E Park Ave., San Ysidro
- Spring Valley Community Center (Olsen Room), 8735 Jamacha Blvd., Spring Valley
On July 1, six additional centers will open, bringing the total to 13. Hours that day will expand from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Vote centers offer more than just in-person voting. Voters can:
- Drop off mail ballots
- Use accessible ballot-marking devices
- Get help in multiple languages
- Register or update registration and vote on the same day
Ballot-marking devices allow voters to select choices via touchscreen. Once complete, the machine prints the official ballot, which voters review and hand to a poll worker for submission. These devices do not store or count votes.
Electioneering — including campaign signs, slogans, or petition circulation — is prohibited within 100 feet of vote centers and ballot drop boxes.
The winner of the special election will fill the District 1 Board of Supervisors seat through January 2029. Only residents of District 1 are eligible to vote.
District 1 spans from the Pacific Ocean east to the Otay and San Miguel Mountains, and from Barrio Logan south to the U.S.–Mexico border. It includes Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, National City, parts of San Diego (Barrio Logan, East Village, Golden Hill), and unincorporated areas such as Bonita, Lincoln Acres, East Otay Mesa, Sunnyside, La Presa, and parts of Spring Valley.
