PREPARING FOR THE NEW 
VOTING PROCEDURES

Mock Election To Be Held September 28-29, 10 am to 4 pm

How we cast our votes is going to drastically change 
beginning with the Primary in March, 2020. Precinct 
polling places will be a thing of the past. Polling Centers 
will be open throughout LA County and any registered 
voter may use them, regardless of where you live. 
However, the most significant change will be in the way 
we vote. The system has been totaling updated and the 
use of modern technology for casting our votes is being introduced to 
the public now, so votes will be prepared by March. In fact, a mock 
election will be held on September 28-29, 2019.

The LA County Registrar-Recorder is partnering with 50 locations 
across the County and inviting everyone to experience the new voting 
system, Voting Solutions for All People.

This will be light and fun, no real contests from past or future elections. 
But you will vote on things like your favorite sports team, park 
or music venue!

Select locations will have live DJs, surprise celebrities, food trucks and 
chances to win L.A. experi-ences such as: tickets to professional sports 
games, amusement parks, celebrity meet and greets and a whole lot 
more!
