In-person voting for the June 2 statewide primary election began Saturday at 122 vote centers in Los Angeles County.
The vote centers will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. for in-person voting, voter registration and vote-by-mail ballot returns.
Eligible voters who have not registered can visit any vote center, complete a conditional voter registration and cast a ballot. Once the registration is validated through the statewide database, the ballot will be processed like all others, officials said.
County election officials encouraged voters to review their ballots carefully and vote early, noting the ballot includes a large number of contests and candidates.
Voters can also use the interactive sample ballot on the LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s website, an optional tool that allows them to mark selections on a smartphone or computer and transfer them to a ballot-marking device at a vote center.
For contests with many candidates, the ballot-marking device displays five candidates at a time, and voters can select the “More” button to view the full list.
A list and map of vote center locations are available here.
The primary ballot includes races for governor, seven other statewide offices, four seats on the Board of Equalization, all of California’s 52 congressional seats, 20 of the 40 state Senate seats and all 80 seats in the Assembly.
The top two candidates in all state and federal races will advance to the November general election, regardless of party. If no candidate receives a majority in the county races, which are all nonpartisan, the top two will meet in the general election.
