Early voting for the November 8 elections began this past Monday, October 10, with record numbers in what may be a record voter turnout.
According to the San Diego Registrar of Voters, in the first nine hours of balloting alone, 325 people had shown up to cast their ballots at the Registrar of Voters’ office in Kearny Mesa.
This will be an unprecedented election in San Diego due to the number of propositions, candidates, and measures that will appear on one of the lengthiest ballots ever present to voters.
“We are talking about a two-card ballot; which is four pages long and has never been seen before,” said Mariana Bustamante, Spanish Voter Outreach Coordinator at the San Diego County Registrar of Voters.
