Voting in 2020 will be unlike anything you’ve experienced in the past. Across the country, up and down the state, and here in San Diego County, massive changes are underway to prepare for the Nov. 3 election amid a pandemic.
County Registrar of Voters Michael Vu said rapid adjustments to the election system at this scale are unprecedented.
“Something like this generally takes four to six maybe even eight to 10 years, and we’re doing it in four to six months, if that,” Vu said. Here’s inewsource’s comprehensive guide to help you navigate everything that’s new so you can make sure your vote counts. To submit additional questions for our FAQ page, email: vote@inewsource.org.
I’M VOTING…
By mail
In person
- Unlike past elections, all registered voters will automatically receive a vote by mail ballot. Check your mailbox starting Oct. 5.
- The last day to register to vote and automatically receive a vote by mail ballot is Oct. 19.
- You can check or update your voter registration here. If you’ve moved recently, you should update your voter registration to ensure you receive the correct ballot.
- Mark your ballot using a pen with dark ink. (Ideally blue or black)
- Don’t forget to sign and date your ballot envelope before you mail it back.
- Your ballot must be postmarked by Election Day, Nov. 3, to count.
- You don’t need a stamp. The envelope is postage paid.
- The county is expanding the number of vote by mail drop-off locations across the county – 126 locations to be exact. Check the map below or visit the county’s website to view the hours and locations online. Please note that some location hours provided below may change, check online or call the registrar’s office at 858-565-5800 with any questions.
I’M WORRIED MY MAIL BALLOT WON’T ARRIVE ON TIME TO BE COUNTED.
For this election, state lawmakers extended the time ballots can arrive and be counted. Instead of the usual three days after an election, this year your ballot can arrive up to 17 days after the election and still count.
I MISSED THE OCT. 19 VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE.
You can still register to vote and cast a provisional ballot in person. Provisional ballots are counted after officials verify your eligibility. To do this, you can register at the registrar’s office or go to a polling location from Oct. 31 through Nov. 3. Call the registrar’s office at (858) 565-5800 if you need help.
I’M REGISTERED TO VOTE BUT DIDN’T RECEIVE MY VOTE BY MAIL BALLOT.
County officials say you shouldn’t worry until Oct.14. If you haven’t received a ballot by then, call (858) 565-5800. Your previous ballot will be suspended and a new one will be issued. If you never receive a ballot, you can still vote in person at a polling location.
I NEED HELP VOTING.
You can request help voting remotely on the county’s website. You can also request translated election materials online in Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Filipino. You can find the state election guide online. You can also look up your local pamphlet here.
I RECEIVED A VOTE BY MAIL BALLOT, BUT I PREFER TO VOTE IN PERSON.
You can do that. Officials advise that you bring your mail ballot with you to the polling location.
I WANT TO DROP OFF MY COMPLETED MAIL BALLOT IN PERSON INSTEAD OF MAILING IT.
You can do that. For this election, polling locations will be open from Oct. 31 through Nov. 3. Tip: If you’re dropping off a completed mail ballot, you can skip the line. Look for the greeter station when you arrive. You can also use the vote by mail drop-off locations outlined above.
- Signatures on vote by mail ballots go through a rigorous verification process. If a signature doesn’t match, state law requires election officials to contact the voter and verify the signature before counting the ballot. For more on local safety procedures, go to the county’s website.
- You can ask someone to turn in your ballot for you, but state law requires you to give the person permission. There is a place on your ballot envelope to authorize someone to return it for you. It’s also illegal in California to compensate someone to turn in your ballot for you.
- Local officials say San Diego County has not experienced any systematic or widespread voter fraud. Nationally, claims of rigged vote by mail elections have been debunked. Several states have safely conducted elections primarily using mail ballots in the past, including Oregon and Colorado.
- You can track your ballot and get push notifications. Sign up on the county’s website.
- The Secretary of State has until Dec. 11 to certify the results. California is already one of the slowest state’s in the country to count its ballots. In recent years, several Congressional races in Southern California have taken weeks to determine a winner. This year state lawmakers have extended the time that mail ballots can arrive and be counted and the governor has ordered that all voters receive a vote by mail ballot – both changes will likely lead to a slower vote count. Expect that the outcome of some races may not be clear on election night.
- Check where to vote before you leave home. This election your usual polling location likely no longer exists. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, there will be just 235 locations. Typically there are far more: during the March primary election, the county had about 1,550.
- Your assigned voting location is noted on the back cover of your sample ballot or you can look it up online. You can also look up all polling locations below.
- Poll workers this year will be paid workers, not volunteers. You’ll see more of them at each location than in years past.
- You have more days to vote in person. Polling locations will be open from Oct. 31 through Nov. 3.
- Polling location hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Oct. 31 through Nov. 2, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 3.
- If you want to vote even earlier in person, you can go to the county registrar’s office at 5600 Overland Ave. in Kearny Mesa beginning on Oct. 5. It is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m, Mondays through Fridays with extended hours on select days.
CAN I VOTE ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTY?
Yes. Election officials have assigned each registered voter to a specific location to help keep lines short. But if you need to vote at a different location, you can do so without casting a provisional ballot.
CAN I VOTE WITHOUT A MASK?
Masks are advised, but you can still cast a ballot without one. Poll workers will have masks available for those who forget them. If you prefer to vote without a mask or cannot wear one, staff will help coordinate voting outside.
I MISSED THE OCT. 19 VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE.
That’s OK. Head to any polling location and you can register and cast a provisional ballot. Your ballot will be counted after your eligibility is verified.
I NEED HELP VOTING.
Every polling location will have accessible ballot marking devices compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Voting materials are provided in English, Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese and Chinese. Tip: You can even vote from a car. Call (858) 565-5800 to request this service in advance. Learn more about the full features of the ballot marking device and other help available on the county’s website. In addition, you can find the state election guide online. You can also look up your local pamphlet here.
I’M WORRIED THE LINES WILL BE LONG.
They may be. Officials are encouraging everyone to mail in their ballots ahead of time. During the last presidential general election, nearly 500,000 people voted in person in San Diego County. Polling locations are in larger spaces this year to accommodate social distancing and help keep lines shorter. But overall there are far fewer in-person locations to vote, which could lead to large crowds.
I STILL NEED MORE HELP.
If you have any questions about voting, call the county registrar’s office at (858) 565-5800. You can also reach out to inewsource staff on social media (Twitter: @inewsource or @maryplummer) or email us at vote@inewsource.org.
The way we vote is undergoing massive changes in 2020. Our goal is to investigate who in San Diego County wins and loses under the new system and highlight inequities resulting from these significant changes.

Fact-checking and Verification Standards
Transparency is one of our core values. Today, there is a need to build trust with our audience because new media and ways of communicating spread lies and slanted news faster than “real” news. At the same time, this era of new technologies makes it easier than ever for news organizations to be transparent. People don’t just have to believe us, they can investigate our investigations with our source materials.
Transparency is key to building credibility.
inewsource reporters have primary responsibility for reporting, writing, and fact-checking their stories. But before a story is published, the reporter reviews all facts and sources with an editor or another reporter. Facts must be traced to a primary source.
In addition, we “transparify” certain investigative stories. This process involves publishing a version of the web story with hyperlinks to all the story’s facts. This is proof that all facts have been documented with primary evidence. We do this to build trust with our readers and to be as transparent as we hope the public figures and institutions that we hold accountable will be.
Unnamed Sources
Not all sources are created equal. Some sources cannot speak authoritatively, provide proper analysis or speak specifically to every inquiry placed before them. To maintain the integrity of our reporting, inewsource reporters must select sources who can speak with validity to the topic at hand, and avoid presenting unqualified or underqualified sources as experts.
If an interviewed source has a conflict of interest, or whose qualifications may be tangential or limited, reporters will note that within the context of the story.
It is incumbent upon reporters to fully background their sources to uncover conflicts of interest or slant prior to using them in a story.
Unless discussed prior to an interview, all subjects talking to inewsource journalists are on the record. Specifically, the source is identified by name and title, and their exact or paraphrased words are attributed to them for publication. If journalists speak with sources who are not politicians, public figures or those not commonly interviewed by journalists, staff should explain clearly that information discussed will be on the record and for publication.
There are times, however, when information may be critical for a story but cannot be found or verified by other means. For example, a source may be able to confirm specific information about a series of events they may have witnessed, but have legitimate concerns about using their name or title. The repercussions to the source could be legal, job-related retribution or personal safety. The source and journalist must discuss these potential dangers and terms of use should be agreed upon by both parties.
If inewsource publishes information from an anonymous source, inewsource will explain to readers, in as much detail as possible, why we agreed to anonymity.
Corrections and Clarifications
inewsource strives for accuracy in everything we do, which is why we are committed to fact checking our content. But sometimes we make errors. When that happens, we correct them. We also clarify stories when something we’ve written is confusing or could be misinterpreted.
We endeavor to always be transparent about our commitment to correcting errors and clarifying misperceptions. When staffers see, hear or read about a possible issue with the accuracy of any inewsource content, they are expected to bring it to the attention of an editor and the web producer so it can be evaluated to determine how to proceed.
Including the web producer is key because inewsource is a multimedia news organization and shares its content with multiple partners on multiple platforms. The web producer must alert these partners about corrections and clarifications.
Corrections and clarifications should be included at the bottom of stories and dated.
Actionable Feedback and Newsroom Contacts
Our audiences know the region we cover and have a stake in maintaining and improving the quality of life in San Diego and Imperial counties. We know your knowledge and insights can help shape what we cover and how we cover it. We invite your comments and complaints on news stories, suggestions for issues to cover or sources to consult. We rely on you to tell us when we get it right and when we need to keep pushing.
Your comments, questions and suggestions can be sent to the team as a whole at contact@inewsource.org or you can contact a specific member of our staff.
Masthead
CEO, Editor and Founder: Lorie Hearn, loriehearn@inewsource.org
Lorie Hearn is the chief executive officer, editor and founder of inewsource. She founded inewsource in the summer of 2009, following a successful reporting and editing career in newspapers. She retired from The San Diego Union-Tribune, where she had been a reporter, Metro Editor and finally the senior editor for Metro and Watchdog Journalism. In addition to department oversight, Hearn personally managed a four-person watchdog team, composed of two data specialists and two investigative reporters. Hearn was a Nieman Foundation fellow at Harvard University in 1994-95. She focused on juvenile justice and drug control policy, a natural course to follow her years as a courts and legal affairs reporter at the San Diego Union and then the Union-Tribune.
Hearn became Metro Editor in 1999 and oversaw regional and city news coverage, which included the city of San Diego’s financial debacle and near bankruptcy. Reporters and editors on Metro during her tenure were part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning stories that exposed Congressman Randy “Duke” Cunningham and led to his imprisonment.
Hearn began her journalism career as a reporter for the Bucks County Courier Times, a small daily outside of Philadelphia, shortly after graduating from the University of Delaware. During the decades following, she moved through countless beats at five newspapers on both coasts.
High-profile coverage included the historic state Supreme Court election in 1986, when three sitting justices were ousted from the bench, and the 1992 execution of Robert Alton Harris. That gas chamber execution was the first time the death penalty was carried out in California in 25 years.
In her nine years as Metro Editor at the Union-Tribune, Hearn made watchdog reporting a priority. Her reporters produced award-winning investigations covering large and small local governments. The depth and breadth of their public service work was most evident in coverage of the wildfires of 2003 and then 2007, when more than half a million people were evacuated from their homes.
Managing Editor: Mark J. Rochester, markrochester@inewsource.org
Mark J. Rochester began as inewsource managing editor in April 2021, having served as editor in chief at Type Investigations, a nonprofit investigative newsroom in Manhattan. He was previously senior news director for investigations at the Detroit Free Press. Both newsrooms, he notes, shared a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and their investigative journalism often received national recognition for exposing problems impacting communities of color.
His family looks forward to returning to California, having spent more than seven years in San Francisco where Rochester was a senior manager for the Associated Press. While with the news cooperative, he led computer-assisted reporting training efforts around the West, both inside and outside of AP, and conducted a widely used analysis of the $74 million in campaign contributions that went toward the California gay marriage ballot initiative in 2008. The AP analyzed who gave and why and then made the data available to member newspapers. The resulting series of stories based on the data was AP’s 2009 Pulitzer nomination for Local Reporting.
Rochester, who served as a Pulitzer Prize jurist in 2017, also has held senior leadership positions at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Denver Post, Newsday and The Indianapolis Star. Rochester is vice president of Investigative Reporters & Editors Inc., the 6,000+ member international organization dedicated to improving investigative journalism. He also serves on the national advisory board of the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University in Washington, D.C.
