As Tuesday’s election nears, it’s time for voters to prepare.
The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk has a helpful website for voters to find their local polling place. Visitors also can select a party preference to get a sample ballot.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 5.
In addition to the presidential primary, voters will weigh in on a U.S. Senate candidate and two statewide ballot measures. If passed, Proposition 29 would add a $1 tax to cigarette to fund cancer research. Prop. 28 would put a 12-year term limit on lawmakers in the state Legislature.
