The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Office will open 111 vote centers Saturday, ahead of the Nov. 4 statewide special election on congressional redistricting.
Vote centers will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. for in-person voting, voter registration and vote-by-mail returns. The county has mailed all voters a postcard listing the nearest 11-day and 4-day vote centers to their residence.
A complete list and map of vote center locations is available online at locator.lavote.gov, including optional GPS tracking to identify the location nearest at the time of the query.
Eligible voters who have not yet registered can visit any vote center, complete a conditional voter registration and cast a ballot in this election. Once the registration is validated through the statewide database, the ballot is processed like all others.
County officials encourage voters to review their ballots carefully and vote early.
Voters can save time at the vote center with an interactive sample ballot. This optional tool allows voters to view and mark their selections on a smartphone or computer and instantly transfer their votes to the ballot-marking device using their poll pass. Voters can learn more at lavote.gov.
The special election includes only one measure, Proposition 50, which is a proposal to temporarily redraw California’s congressional district lines for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections in an attempt to create more Democratic seats in the House — an effort Gov. Gavin Newsom says would offset a similar move in Texas designed to create more Republican seats.
Opponents say Proposition 50 “creates one of the most extreme partisan gerrymanders in modern American history” and is a “threat to democracy and fair elections in California,” according to the campaign against the measure.
Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Office officials said voters can also return their ballots by placing them in any of more than 400 drop boxes across the county, sending them through the mail by election day or visiting one of the county’s officials vote centers.
