Equity Impact Statement
A person’s vote can influence policy and who represents them in government, which in turn impacts their environment, health, and quality of life. The Registrar of Voters’ conduct of a fair, accurate, and transparent election allows all eligible citizens to have a part in matters that affect them.
Sustainability Impact Statement
A person’s vote has a direct influence on the sustainability of their neighborhood, community, and local region. By voting, San Diego residents have a direct impact on their health, equity, the economy, and environment. With the County’s implementation of the vote center model, all active registered voters receive a ballot in the mail as required by current law. This increases accessibility by providing voters with the opportunity to consider the method that is most convenient for them to return their ballot and has the possibility of reducing vehicles miles traveled to cast their vote. In addition, voters have the option of receiving voter information guides electronically to reduce paper waste. The recommended action today aligns with the Governance lens of sustainability and the County of San Diego Sustainability Goal of providing just and equitable access to County services.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of the Resolution. There will be no change in net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.

Background
California Elections Code Section 15400 provides that the Board of Supervisors must declare the results of elections for offices and measures under the County’s jurisdiction. The June 2, 2026 Gubernatorial Primary Election ballot included two offices under the County’s jurisdiction, but no County measures.
The complete election results for the two offices are detailed in the attached resolution (Attachment A). The following candidates received the most votes in the contests and therefore will advance to the ballot in the November 3, 2026 Statewide General Election:
Board of Supervisors District No. 5
Rebecca Jones
Kyle Krahel
Treasurer/Tax Collector
Larry Cohen
Shirley Nakawatase
Linkage To The County Of San Diego Strategic Plan
