As the November 3 election approaches, consider how you can support an older adult in your life.

Know an older adult who needs help participating in the election? Offer a ride to a vote center, help them locate an official ballot drop box, or, if they request it, return their completed ballot on their behalf. Every eligible voter deserves the opportunity to make their voice heard.

In San Diego County, every registered voter receives a mail ballot.

Ballots can be:
✅ Mailed (postmarked by November 3)
✅ Returned to an official ballot drop box by 8 p.m. on November 3
✅ Returned at any vote center by 8 p.m. on November
