General Election Voter Registration | |
|
This year, every active registered voter will automatically receive a ballot in the mail for the upcoming Statewide General Election on November 8, 2022. Ballots will begin to go out on October 8, 2022. Check your registration status online at sdvote.com. Make sure your residence address is up to date and if you have a separate mailing address, check that too. If accurate, no further action is needed. If different, you need to fill out a new voter registration form.
If you’re not registered or need to change your registration, you can complete an online registration form at sdvote.com - it takes less than two minutes! The voter registration deadline is October 24, 2022.
If you don’t have access to a computer, registration forms are also available at the Registrar of Voters Office or at the offices of the U.S. Postal Service, City Clerk at Solana Beach City Hall, public libraries, and Department of Motor Vehicles. Check with each location to make sure they are open before you head over.

Municipal Election Voter Information: Measure S | |
|
On July 13th, the Solana Beach City Council placed Measure S – the Solana Beach Streets, Parks, Beaches and Services Measure – on the November Municipal Election ballot for voter consideration.
Measure S is a proposed one-cent local sales tax (a penny per dollar) to address priorities identified by City residents in a recent community survey, such as maintaining local streets and repairing potholes, storm drains, and other infrastructure, keeping trash and pollution out of local waterways and off our beaches and keeping neighborhoods, parks, and other public areas safe and clean.
If enacted, Measure S could also provide additional funding for local public safety which includes fire protection, paramedic services, response to 911 emergencies, and our Sheriff to address traffic safety, property related theft, homeless response and more.
