Multiple Voting Options Available for Pasadena Residents in November Election

Pasadena City Clerk Mark Jomsky reviewed multiple voting options for city residents ahead of the Tuesday, November 5, General Election in the most recent edition of the City Manager’s newsletter last week. 

Jomsky noted the Los Angeles County Registrar’s office has already mailed ballots to all registered voters. Voters must complete their ballot, sign their voter identification envelope, and return it (no is stamp required, as postage is pre-paid). Mail-in ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day to be counted. 

Jomsky also reported that eight ballot drop box locations are available throughout Pasadena for those preferring to hand-deliver their mail-in ballots: 

• • Allendale Branch Library, 1130 S. Marengo Ave.
  • Grant Park, 232 S. Michigan Ave.
  • Hastings Branch Library, 3325 E. Orange Grove Blvd.

  • Rose Bowl Stadium (near Lot I), Seco Street and Arroyo
  • Victory Park, 2575 Paloma St.
  • Washington Park, 700 E. Washington Blvd.

Drop Boxes are available 24/7 during the voting period through November 5, 2024. Los Angeles County Registrar of Voter staff will collect deposited ballots every 24-48 hours from Drop Box locations. Drop Boxes will close at 8:00 p.m. on November 5 Election Day.
