The deadline for candidates to file to run in local elections is Aug. 7.<\/p>\n
Two council seats are up for election in Del Mar, including a seat vacated by former Councilmember Dwight Worden in 2024. The remaining four council members could not agree on whether to appoint a replacement or hold a special election, so the spot was left open until its next regularly scheduled election.<\/p>\n
In Solana Beach, council seats for district 2 and 4, currently held by Kristi Becker and Jill MacDonald, respectively, are up for election.<\/p>\n
The deadline is extended to Aug. 12 in races without incumbent candidates.<\/p>\n
Other upcoming deadlines include Aug. 13 for holding a randomized drawing to determine the order that candidate names will appear on the ballot, Aug. 28 for all legal challenges to be resolved, and Sept. 24 is the first pre-election deadline for candidates to file campaign disclosures.<\/p>\n
Registered voters are scheduled to receive ballots by mail the week of Oct. 5, according to the registrar. Ballots that are mailed in have to be postmarked by Nov. 3.<\/p>\n
Ballots can be dropped off from Tuesday, Oct. 6, through Election Day. Some voting centers will be open as early as Oct. 24 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for in-person voting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The deadline for candidates to file to run in local elections is Aug. 7.
