If you haven't registered to vote yet, you still have one more day left. February 17 is the last day to register for the upcoming Los Angeles municipal primary on March 3.
There's a lot at stake: Angelenos will be voting for 15 open seats in the Los Angeles City Council, Board of Education and Community College Districts. And then there will be another election after that—a runoff election—on May 19.
Here are the different ways you can register to vote: online here, or in person at the Office of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) located at 12400 Imperial Highway in Norwalk. You can also find voter registration forms at most Los Angeles city and county buildings, libraries, fire stations, post offices and DMV offices.
If you're not sure if you've already registered to vote, check out your status here. If you're interested, you can look up your polling place and get a sample ballot online here. For more information on voting, visit the Los Angeles City Clerk's website here.
