San Diego County Elections
San Diego County is the fifth most populous county in the United States, home to almost 3,298,634 million people (2020 census) and covers an area of of approximately 4,500 square miles (larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined). The area which is now San Diego County has been inhabited for more than 12,000 years by Kumeyaay and other indigenous peoples.
The demographics for the county: 43.1% White, 12.5% Asian & Pacific Islander, 4.4% Black, 33.9% Latino, 0.4% Native American.
Countywide elections are extremely difficult, time-consuming and expensive. We should understand the importance of these elected positions and how they affect the lives of all San Diego County residents.
- There are multiple candidates in the Sheriff’s race, but only one Democrat replied to our invitiation for endorsement consideration.
- The Assessor-Recorder-Clerk and Treasurer-Tax Collector races won’t appear on the June Primary ballot — as there only two candidates in each race they are automatically qualified for the November General Election.
