Take A Tour Of The First Day Of Voting At Dodger Stadium

It’s the weekend before Election Day and voters have a lot of options: You can mail-in your ballot or drop it off at a secure ballot box. Or you can do what more than 250,000 Angelenos have already done: go in-person to a vote center.
Some locations have been open all week, but the majority of Los Angeles County vote centers opened Friday morning.
Tiffany Cabrera chose one of the best-known spots to cast her ballot: Dodger Stadium. She joined other fans expressing a mix of civic duty and team loyalty.
“It was an awesome experience,” Cabrera said. “As important as this election is for all of us, coming to one of the most monumental places [in the city] made me feel very proud to be an Angeleno and do my part.”

After the @Dodgers won the #WorldSeries @LACountyRRCC doubled the number of voting machines. 70 stations now available & no lines as of 12:45 PM. pic.twitter.com/1hR3s4SsaU
The entrance for the vote center is Gate A on Vin Scully Ave. off of Sunset Blvd. Follow the blue line winding through empty parking lots all the way up to Lot P. The vote center is located on the Top Deck concourse — right next to the souvenir shop that’s selling championship gear and memorabilia.
After voting, fans can take in the view of the field, get a special Dodger Stadium “I Voted” sticker, and take selfies.
When the Dodgers won the World Series, the L.A. County Registrar-Recorder doubled the number of ballot machines at the stadium — 70 stations are now available, and there was no wait time on Friday afternoon.
With four days of voting to go, the early in-person vote in L.A. County has already exceeded turnout for the entire early voting period in the primary, the Registrar's office said.
Dodger Stadium is just one of close to 800 L.A. County vote centers open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Monday. Hours expand to 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Election Day.
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.
