VOTER'S WATCHDOG: WILL YOUR VOTE COUNT?

This
information is important for everyone, but especially for newly registered
voters.  Please forward, post or printout this information.  Avoid
confusion on Election Day and make sure everyone gets to the correct polling
place to avoid use of Provisional Ballots.

 MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE WILL BE COUNTED

• Confirm you are registered in San Diego County at the San Diego County
  Registrar’s website:  www.sdvote.com  -
  or call  858-565-5800.  October 20 is the last day to register
  for the Novemer 4 election.
• Registered outside San Diego County or the state? Check League of Women
  Voters: www.vote411.org     

VOTE IN THE PRECINCT WHERE YOU ARE REGISTERED.

• Unless you registered too close to the Oct. 20 deadline, you will receive
  a sample ballot in the mail.  Your precinct location is on the back.
• Polling place locations can change.  Check for updated
  information on YOUR polling place at www.sdvote.com or
  call  858-565-5800
• Out of County or out of state?  Check LWV at  www.vote411.org
• Name not on the voter roll in your precinct?  Ask
  the poll worker to check newly registered voters at the back of the roll.  If
  you are at the correct precinct there is no justification to make you vote
  provisionally.
• At the wrong polling place?  Find the correct address or use a provisional
  ballot.  
• If you feel you have been wrongly refused a regular ballot, call one of
  the hotline numbers below. 
• A picture ID is not required at the polls in California.  Bring it
  anyway.
• Be in line by 8:00 pm and do not wear campaign message items.

 VOTE BY ABSENTEE (MAIL IN) BALLOT – Mail
Early

•  Mail all Absentee Ballots no later than October 30, 2008.
• Drop off at any poll location on Election Day November 4, 2008

VOTE BY PROVISIONAL BALLOT AS A LAST RESORT

• If you are not registered to vote in San
  Diego County – your provisional ballot cast here will not count.
• If you are registered to vote in another county, request an absentee ballot
  from that county or re-register in San Diego
  County by Oct. 20, 2008.
• You have the absolute right to vote provisionally if you are registered
  in San Diego Count, even if your name is not on the rolls.
