November 19, 2013 (San Diego) – As San Diegans head to the polls today to vote in a special election to fill the mayoral vacancy, Registrar of Voters Michael Vu says an expected turnout of 40 to 45 percent is anticipated, or roughly equivalent to the last citywide mayoral election in July 2005, which had a 44.33% turnout rate.
If one candidate wins over 50 percent of the vote today, that candidate will be the new mayor. If no candidate achieves a majority, then there will be a run-off election among the top two vote-getters. To view our nonpartisan guide for voters in the San Diego mayoral election, click here.
