Your vote matters. Stand Up for Democracy and fight climate change.
REGISTER AND VOTE
Primary elections are important. This is your chance to impact who gets on the ballot in November and what they stand for, especially because many people don’t vote. And, right now, our right to vote is under threat (read about democracy and election threats here). By voting you show that democracy matters, and no one gets to take it away.

Measure A: Non-Primary Homes Tax (SD City) |
Vote Yes to approve a new tax on second homes in the City of San Diego that are unoccupied for >183 days/year. It would not apply to new construction. The Independent Budget Analyst’s Office estimates Measure A would generate between $9.2 million to $21.4 million in the first year, and between $10.5 million and $24.3 million in the second year. This would provide a badly needed source of funds for the City of San Diego. | YES |
