The rollout of a new voting system in Los Angeles County had a bumpy start, marred by long waits. The clock is ticking for officials to fix the glitches by November.

"Voters who waited patiently for hours deserve our praise for their commitment to democracy. Voters deserve better," said Secretary of State Alex Padilla.

There are lots of ways to vote here, and lots of time needed to count those votes. As pundits spin out over the pace, you can feel free to settle in. The waiting begins now.

The GOP smells opportunity in California's 25th district, which was once solidly conservative. But local Democrats are confident they'll keep the seat.

The day got off to a rocky start, but a new era of in-person voting has officially begun in L.A. County.

In-person voting for the March 3 primary starts locally Saturday morning, when the first round of centralized “vote centers” that are replacing traditional polling places will open.

LA County voters will have to navigate a completely different election system to cast ballots in-person for the fast-approaching primary election. And most won't be going to their traditional polling places.

Where and how L.A. votes is changing. Are you paying attention? Who is?

A bill headed to Governor Newsom's desk would simplify changing political parties up to and including Election Day.

A measure to boost firefighter funding was left off the first round of ballots mailed to two L.A. County cities.

With California's March 3rd primary a few weeks away, could the introduction of new technology here cause problems?

The Secretary of State has certified the new system, but says L.A. County must have a 'Plan B' for March 3 primary voters that includes the option of hand-marking a paper ballot.
