In-Person Voting Opens Saturday at Two Pasadena Vote Centers, With 12 City Sites by Oct. 31

In-person voting for the Nov. 3 general election begins in Pasadena on Saturday, Oct. 24, when two vote centers open for an 11-day run through Election Day.

The two sites are among 123 vote centers opening across Los Angeles County on Oct. 24, Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan announced in a news release Oct. 23.

More Pasadena vote centers open Saturday, Oct. 31.

Pasadena voters will decide local as well as county and state-wide issues. On the ballot locally: a proposed city parcel tax for fire protection, paramedic services and wildfire preparedness and response on Nov. 3. Voters in the relevant districts will also elect representatives to three seats on the Pasadena Unified School District Board of Education and three seats on the Pasadena Area Community College District Board of Trustees.

The 11-day vote centers are in Derian Hall at Armenian Cilicia Evangelical Church, 339 S. Santa Anita Ave., and in the multipurpose room at Robinson Park Recreation Center, 1081 N. Fair Oaks Ave. Both are open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day before Election Day and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Starting Oct. 31, 12 Pasadena locations will be open as vote centers through Election Day, including the two that open Oct. 24. They include Pasadena City College’s Creveling Lounge, 1570 E. Colorado Blvd.; the Jefferson Branch Library auditorium, 1500 E. Villa St.; Rosemont Pavilion, 700 Seco St.; and the Victory Park Recreation Center gym, 2575 Paloma St.

Countywide, another 523 vote centers open that day, bringing the total to 646, City News Service reported.

Pasadena voters may use any vote center in Los Angeles County, not only those in the city. Vote centers offer in-person voting, voter registration and drop-off of vote-by-mail ballots, the registrar’s office said.

Eligible residents who missed the registration deadline can still vote. At any vote center, they can complete a conditional voter registration under state election law and receive a ballot to mark on the voting machine. The ballot is counted once the registration is verified.

The registrar’s office urged voters to review their ballots carefully and vote early because the ballot includes many contests and candidates. Voters can mark their choices ahead of time on a phone or computer with the county’s optional Interactive Sample Ballot and transfer them to the ballot marking device at a vote center, the office said.

Election materials are available in 18 languages, according to the registrar. Voters can request materials in their preferred language by calling (800) 815-2666, option 3, and Spanish-speaking voters can call (213) 358-2701 for direct assistance.

Vote-by-mail ballots can also be returned at any of eight official drop boxes in Pasadena, including one at City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave. The boxes are open around the clock until 8 p.m. Nov. 3. Mailed ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 3, and election officials recommend mailing them at least seven days before Election Day, City News Service reported.
