Have you dropped off your mail ballot yet? You can drop off your mail ballot at one of the drop-off locations during hours of operations, all the way through Election Day (but, the sooner the better)! You can also mail it, of course… but if you haven’t dropped it in the mail yet then you might consider taking it to a drop-off location.
And, since you’re making a trip anyway, why not use it as an excuse to check out a cool park? You can visit a park with your kids (here are some GREAT conversation starts for kids about voting) and then all head to the ballot drop-off location together!
Since we have a database of over 600 parks in San Diego, I checked them against the list of mail ballot drop-off locations and found the best parks nearby. It’s so important to get out and vote – and I hope you also check out a park and talk about voting with your kids!
