Los Angeles County Voting Center 122 will open for voting starting from the 26th. -It is prohibited to ask voters about their voting qualifications.-

Los Angeles County is set to launch 122 vote centers starting this Saturday, October 26, allowing residents to cast their votes in person. These centers will operate daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., with extended hours on Election Day, November 5, when they will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters will have the option to use the voting machines at the centers or to deposit their ballots into the secure drop boxes located outside the centers, similar to mail-in voting.

On October 25, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk emphasized important voting guidelines, highlighting that California election law prohibits questions about a voter’s eligibility.

In addition, the office released a complete list and map of all vote center locations, accessible online at LOCATOR.LAVOTE.GO, allowing residents to find the closest center to their residence.

Mike Sanchez, spokesperson for the county’s election office, stated that voters will soon receive a postcard detailing the nearest vote centers, facilitating early voting opportunities.

Registrar Dean C. Logan noted that this election encompasses a range of positions and propositions beyond just the presidency and vice presidency, including federal, state, and local elected offices. He urged voters to thoroughly review their ballots and encouraged early participation. For voters who missed the registration deadline on October 21, there is still an opportunity to cast their votes. Starting October 26, eligible voters can visit any vote center in Los Angeles County, fill out a voter registration form, and still participate in this election. The vote centers will provide translation services in 18 different languages, and those needing assistance in languages other than English can call 800-815-2666 (choose option 3) for late voter registration information.

The election office also reiterated that violations of California election law could result in fines and/or imprisonment. Specifically, it is prohibited to ask for support or opposition to any candidates or measures within 100 feet of polling places or vote centers. Additionally, displaying names, images, or logos of candidates, loitering around ballot drop boxes, and distributing campaign materials near polling locations are strictly forbidden. Voters are also not allowed to wear or display clothing that promotes or opposes any candidates or measures at polling places.
