Official Sample Ballot booklets for the May 19th election began their journey yesterday to homes of voters. “Every registered voter in the County will receive an Official Sample Ballot booklet prior to Election Day,” said LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan. “Sample Ballots contain important information to help ensure that voters are able to successfully cast their ballot, either by mail, or at their neighborhood polling place.” This also means you can start the process to vote by mail.
