Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 General Election will be conducted a little differently. All voters will get a ballot by mail, and polls will be open from Oct. 31 through Nov. 3. Please note, your polling location will probably be different this year too. Get more information in the links below. If you have questions the Office of the City Clerk is here to help. Call 760-434-2808 Monday through Friday or email clerk@carlsbadca.gov.
