Super Tuesday has arrived, and while preliminary information indicates that Los Angeles County residents are expected to turn out in record low numbers to vote in federal, state and local elections, officials are doing everything they can to make voting accessible to all.
Many polling centers, including the L.A. County Registrar’s Office in Norwalk, will offer in-person services starting at 7 a.m. in addition to being the site of one of over 450 ballet boxes across the county where votes can be dropped off until 8 p.m.
Mail-in ballots will be accepted until March 12 if they are postmarked by Tuesday.
Metro is offering free rides on Tuesday on all trains, buses and Metro bikes to make it as easy as possible for all residents to vote.
Despite the list of important positions up for grabs and controversial measures on the ballot, voter turnout is expected to be a record low in L.A. County; as of Sunday, only 519,000 mail-in ballots were returned out of 5.7 million sent out, according to the California Secretary of State.
