370K Ballots Sent for South County Supervisor, Douglas County Special Election

Douglas County voters have begun receiving ballots for a Special Election scheduled for June 24, which will determine whether to form a Home Rule Charter Commission and select its members. Voter registration remains open through June 16 online, with in-person registration available on Election Day. Ballots can be securely returned via more than 21 drop box locations, which historically handle 90% of returns, and their activity is monitored via live video streams. Meanwhile, in San Diego County, over 370,000 ballots have been mailed for the July 1 special election to fill the vacant District 1 Supervisor seat, contested by Chula Vista Mayor John McCann and Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre. Early voting options include mail-in ballots, multiple drop boxes, and several vote centers open from June 21 through Election Day. This election will decide the political balance on the Board of Supervisors, which has been evenly split since the prior supervisor's departure.
