VOTING HOURS EXTENDED FOR IN-PERSON EARLY VOTING
Voters may cast ballots for Nov. 2, 2010 General Election over the next two Weekends
Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) Dean Logan reported that In-Person Early Voting hours at the RR/CC Headquarters in Norwalk have been extended the following two weekends leading up to the November 2, 2010 General Election. “We are committed to making election services as accessible as possible to LA County voters to give them every opportunity to exercise their right to vote. The ability to vote on the weekend provides busy voters an added opportunity to cast their ballot other than on Election Day,” said Logan.
To vote early, voters can visit the 3rd floor of the RR/CC Headquarters located at 12400 Imperial Hwy., Norwalk, CA, through November 2. In-person Early Voting will be available Monday thru Friday during regular office hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the weekends of October 23-24 and October 30-31 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Logan also reported that on October 4, the RR/CC began processing Vote by Mail ballot requests from voters wishing to cast a ballot by mail for the November 2 Election. “To date, over 1,012,000 voters have been issued Vote by Mail ballots, and over 164,000 have returned their voted ballot by mail or in-person to the RR/CC,” stated Logan. “Voters still have time to request a Vote by Mail ballot. Tuesday, October 26 is the deadline for voters to get their requests to the RR/CC.”
