It’s election season, Los Angeles! We know that filling out your ballot can be dauntinglike a pop quiz you forgot about. Are all of those blank bubbles continuing to stare back at you? Fortunately, voting is an open-book affair.
We put together this page to help provide you with a starting point if you haven’t quite gotten to your multi-page ballot yet. The sources linked to on this page were developed by ourselves, other newsrooms, and others who care about ensuring L.A. County residents can make informed voting decisions.
Remember, you have until 8 p.m. on Election Day to vote. L.A. County has reasonably accessible voting infrastructure that allows you to return your ballot by mail, hundreds of ballot drop-boxes stationed around the county, as well as the ability to vote in-person at a vote center.
As the election creeps closer, be sure to check out our guide to some of the important dates and deadlines, too.
