Early voting is already available at the county Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Office in Norwalk, at 12400 Imperial Highway. The 119 centers opening Saturday are spread throughout the county in hopes of encouraging more people to get their votes in early.
The centers will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters can cast their ballot at any center, regardless of where they live in the county. A list of nearby locations can be found online at locator.lavote.gov.
People who missed the voter-registration deadline but still want to vote can register at a vote center and cast a provisional ballot.
On March 2, more than 600 vote center locations will open across the county.
On Election Day, March 5, the centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
What’s on the ballot?
While the presidential election may get the most attention, many important state and local races are also on the ballot.
Voters participating in the California primary election this coming March 5, will choose the candidates who will compete in the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Under the state’s “top two” primary system, the top two vote-getters in the primary will advance to the general election even if they are both from the same party.
In the general election, candidates for US President, Senate and House of Representatives and California Senate and Assembly will be at the top of the ballot.
