SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — With Election Day just days away and new voting centers opening this weekend, law enforcement across the county is working to keep everyone safe.

“It doesn’t matter what side of the political spectrum you are on. We all have a responsibility to vote safely and vote civilly,” said People’s Association of Justice Advocates President Shane Harris.

That’s the message law enforcement officials want to send to voters this election season as they gathered Friday for a news conference hosted by the People’s Association of Defenders of Justice.

Law enforcement agencies have been working within their departments to ensure they can respond to calls when needed. But you won’t see them in the voting centers.

“You won’t intentionally see officers stationed at polling places,” said Lt. Daniel Meyer of the San Diego Police Department. “However, we are ready and able to quickly respond to a threat or danger in any of these locations when we receive a call for service.”

Law enforcement agencies from local to state and federal levels have worked closely with the Registrar of Voters when it comes to reporting any potential issues, as more than 200 additional voting centers will open this Saturday across the county.

“We are also planning meetings with law enforcement to see if there is any credible information that we should be aware of and act on,” said Cynthia Paes, the county’s registrar of voters. “All poll workers know if they feel threatened to call 911.”

The Registrar of Voters will also monitor poll observers. Under California election law, the public has the right to observe various election-related activities. What they cannot do is obstruct, interfere, interrupt or attempt to assist in electoral operations.
