You ask, and we'll answer: Whether it's about how to interpret the results or track your ballot, we're here to help you understand the 2024 general election on Nov. 5.
Why you should trust LAist's voter guides
  • I’m Civics and Democracy producer Brianna Lee, and I’ve worked on LAist’s election coverage every year since 2016.

  • Our goal is to help people feel empowered and confident about their vote. That only happens if we give them clear, unbiased information about the races and measures on their ballot, centered on the issues they care about.

  • My colleagues and I work really hard to do that. For our 2024 guides:

    • More than two dozen LAist staffers across our editorial and product teams pitched in to report, edit, design and produce guides for L.A. and Orange counties
    • We started months in advance, reporting and researching as much as we could about the races, sending candidate surveys for city council and school board, watching forums, examining endorsements from all sides and analyzing campaign finance data, even for the most obscure items on the ballot 
    • We answer every single question voters send to us, whether it’s about how to evaluate judicial candidates or what color pen to use for their ballot
  • After every election, we take a hard look at how we can still improve and make our next voter guides even more comprehensive and useful. Have a suggestion? Send it my way.
