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.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
