Your local union’s representatives (usually delegates, executive board members, and appointed representatives) have participated at the local level through the San Diego County Building & Construction Trades Council and/or the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council endorsement processes as well as at the state level through the California State Building Trades Council and/or the California Labor Federation. These processes include research on candidates and ballot measures, interviews of candidates and issues advocates, and votes by delegate and executive board bodies to determine whether a candidate or ballot measure should receive a labor endorsement. Candidates must demonstrate with their past voting histories (if an incumbent or former elected official) and/or by answering detailed questionnaires that they support the values and work of labor unions and their members.

If there is a race or issue that is not on this card, but is on your ballot, it means candidates or advocates for the issue did not seek or receive an endorsement from the San Diego Building Trades Council or the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council.

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 is the deadline to register to vote in person. In order to register to vote in person,  you must go to the Registrar of Voters office at 5600 Overland Ave, San Diego, CA 92123. Complete a conditional voter registration form and submit it. You will get a ballot and a green CVR provisional envelope. Mark your choices on the ballot, place it in the envelope, and seal it. Print and sign your name, and date the envelope. Once your conditional voter registration form is verified and it is confirmed you did not vote elsewhere in the state for the current election, your registration will become active. Your ballot will be removed from the CVR provisional envelope and your votes will be counted. You will be considered registered for any future elections if you are eligible to participate.
