Nearly 400,000 postcards are on their way to registered voters in the Fourth Supervisorial District listing their voting options for the Aug. 15 Special Primary Election. The person elected will fill District 4’s vacant seat (Nathan Fletcher resigned in May) for the remainder of the current term ending in January 2027. Only those who live in the district can vote in the election.

You can see whether you live in District 4 at: sdvote.com.

Registered voters in District 4 will receive a ballot in the mail the week of July 16. Early voting begins Monday, July 17, at the Registrar of Voters office in Kearny Mesa. Hours run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, the Registrar encourages voters to take advantage of the convenience of voting by mail. You can vote at home and return your voted ballot through the mail – no postage needed – or to any of the Registrar’s official ballot drop boxes around the district starting Tuesday, July 18 through the final day of voting, Aug. 15. Voters who return their ballot through the U.S. Postal Service can track it by signing up for “Where’s My Ballot?”.

If no candidate receives a majority vote at the Aug. 15 election, then a special general election will be held on Nov. 7.
