Monday Is Deadline to Register to Vote in Presidential Election

County officials issued a reminder that the registration deadline to vote in the Nov. 6 presidential General Election is midnight Monday.

Anyone who is not currently registered, who has recently moved or who has recently changed his or her name needs to register, according to Registrar of Voters Deborah Seiler.

Those who are unsure if they are registered  can check it online at sdvote.com, where they can also obtain forms and information.

New instructions for this election will tell a voter whether the California Department of Motor Vehicles can confirm his or her identity and supply a signature.

If not, Seiler said, forms need to be printed, signed and mailed to or dropped off at the Registrar of Voters office in Kearny Mesa at 5201 Ruffin Road, Suite I.

Registration forms also are available at the Registrar of Voters office and at U.S. Post Offices, public libraries, city clerk offices and DMV offices. Election materials are available in Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese as well as English.

Registration forms must be postmarked or delivered to the Registrar of Voters office no later than Oct. 22. The office will remain open until midnight the day of the deadline, county officials said.

San Diego is the fifth most populous county in the United States with 1.48 million registered voters.
