As part of the city of West Hollywood’s efforts to increase voter participation, the city reminds community members that each vote counts in the upcoming election. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8. Ballots have been mailed to registered voters.

Voters can check their registration status at lavote.gov/vrstatus or at voterstatus.sos.ca.gov. In addition to state and county items, West Hollywood residents will fill three  City Council seats for four-year terms. Election information is available at weho.org/elections.

There are many ways to vote early.

The city of West Hollywood has worked with LA County to establish three Ballot Drop Box locations in West Hollywood. The Ballot Drop Boxes are bright yellow and clearly marked. They feature safety and security features, such as 24-hour electronic monitoring. Locations are at: West Hollywood City Hall, located at 8300 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood Library, located at 625 N. San Vicente Blvd.; and Plummer Park, located at 7377 Santa Monica Blvd.

Traditional neighborhood “polling places” have been replaced in Los Angeles County by Vote Centers. Many Vote Center locations are already operating, and some Vote Center locations will begin operating on Saturday, Nov. 5. Since L.A. County voters may vote at any Vote Center, all L.A. County voters will have 10 consecutive days as well as Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, to vote in-person.

In West Hollywood, there are three Vote Centers: Plummer Park’s Fiesta Hall Vote Center is now open through Tuesday, Nov. 8, located at 7377 Santa Monica Blvd.; West Hollywood Park Aquatic and Recreation Center Vote Center will be open from Saturday, Nov. 5 through Tuesday, Nov. 8, located at 8750 El Tovar Place.; and Andaz West Hollywood Hotel Vote Center will be open from Saturday, Nov. 5 through Tuesday, Nov. 8 located at 8401 Sunset Blvd.

During the early voting period, through Monday, Nov. 7, Vote Centers will be open every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, Vote Centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. For information, visit locator.lavote.gov/locations/vc.
