With Tuesday quickly approaching, we have to ask – are your prepared for the Primary Election? Polling Places can be different from what you might consider to be your “regular” polling place. And ballots vary depending upon where you live in the neighborhood.
You can find both your polling place and your sample ballot at the LA County Registrar’s Polling Place and Sample Ballot Lookup.
All voters can now vote in the Statewide Direct Primary Election, regardless of party preference. (The Top Two Candidates Open Primary)
- The Primary is a nonpartisan election. This means the candidate is not nominated by the party. If the candidate has a preferred political party, the party name appears on the ballot for information only.
- All the candidates appear on one ballot. Any voter can vote for the candidate of their choice.
- The two candidates with the most votes will move on to the General Election in November.

For SE Windsor Square, the location of the polling place at 615 S GRAMERCY PL is terrible. Often difficult to park there. The old polling place at St Brendan’s church was superior. I complained to the county but I think it fell on deaf ears. Anybody know how to get a polling place location changed?
Hi Frank –
To get your polling place changed back to St. Brendan, you can write to the LA County Registrar and copy Ben Seinfeld in Councilmember Tom LaBonge’s office. This is a good time to get them focused on changing the site… [email protected] and [email protected]
Good luck!
Thanks Mary. That helped and the county contacted me. St Brendan’s no longer makes their space available as a polling place.
