What’s Your Election Plan? Be Prepared.
It’s important to have an Election Plan to know how to cast your ballot. Things to consider:
If voting by mail: Postage is pre-paid on the return envelope. Remember, USPS may not come to your mailbox everyday. Be prepared to make alternate plans if the delivery person is late or doesn’t come to your house on Election Day. Mail your ballot ahead of time.
If voting in-person: Sufficient parking is available at all locations. Signage will direct voters to the entrance of the voting location. The City offers free Dial-A-Ride service to residents who need assistance (562) 567-9480. You must be in-line by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day to vote in-person.
If utilizing a drop-box: Drop boxes are dispersed around the City in well lit-areas with sufficient parking to quickly drop off your ballot. You can alternatively drop off your ballot at City Hall or at any in-person Voting Location (no need to wait in line, just go to the front and locate the ballot box).
