More than 370,000 ballots are headed to registered voters in San Diego County’s District 1 for the April 8 special primary election.
Voters should receive their ballots, sent Friday, in the coming week in the effort to fill the seat vacated by then-Supervisor Nora Vargas.
According to the county, if no candidate receives a majority vote on April 8, the top two vote-getters will move on to the special general election on July 1. Only those who live in the district can vote in the election.
The candidates for the seat are:
Elizabeth Efird, affordable energy consultant Vivian Moreno, San Diego City Council member John McCann, Chula Vista mayor Paloma Aguirre, Imperial Beach mayor Louis A. Fuentes, small business owner Lincoln Pickard Carolina Chavez, Chula Vista deputy mayorThe winner will serve the remainder of the current District 1 term on the Board of Supervisors, through January 2029.
The district covers nearly all of the county’s southern reaches, from the ocean to the Otay and San Miguel mountains in the east and from Barrio Logan in the north to the U.S.-Mexican border .
In late December, despite a resounding re-election victory, Vargas announced she instead would leave office when her first term ended.
“Due to personal safety and security reasons, I will not take the oath of office for a second term,” she said in a statement at the time.
With the departure of Vargas, a Democrat, the board’s current makeup is two Democrats (Terra Lawson-Remer and Monica Montgomery Steppe) and two Republicans (Joel Anderson and Jim Desmond). The board is considered a nonpartisan governing body.
Early voting begins Monday at the Registrar of Voters office, 5600 Overland Ave. in Kearny Mesa, but residents can vote at home and return ballots through the mail or drop them off at any of 26 official ballot drop-boxes starting Tuesday.
Starting March 29, seven vote centers will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until the final day of voting, April 8, when 13 vote centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
