Here's Your Guide To The 2020 Primary Election In LA

It's democracy time again.
The 2020 primary election is coming up real fast, and there are a lot of big races -- and changes to our voting system -- to absorb. The presidential primary. The race for L.A. district attorney. Early voting. New voting centers.
Enter: Voter Game Plan.
Voter Game Plan is our guide to your 2020 ballot, and it's the destination for all your voting needs and questions (and we will continue to update it as we approach the elections). Head to laist.com/elections and you'll find:
- A sample ballot where you can look at all your choices, save your selections, and email them to yourself or a friend
- A handy FAQ on how to vote, including all the upcoming deadlines, information about the new voting centers, and what to expect with L.A. County's new voting machines
- Written guides to all the major races in the March primary (we'll be adding these in the weeks leading up to the election)
- A place for you to tell us about the issues you want candidates to address as they vie for your vote
We're also answering your questions.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
