Where To Vote In Laguna Niguel: Cast Your Ballot In Person 2020

LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA — Voting in the November presidential election will look a little different this year, with many ballots already cast by mail. But you still can cast or hand off your ballot in person this year — and you can do it early or on Election Day.

Dubbed "vote centers" rather than "polling places," physical voting locations will also be a bit different than in years past.

The amount of in-person polling places in California will be limited compared to previous elections, in accordance with a law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in August, but some vote centers already opened as early as Oct. 24.

Centers are required to remain open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Although every registered and active voter in California was already mailed a ballot in October, polling places will be open for same-day voter registration, for those who need assistance with language or disabilities — or for those who simply want to witness the historic, Election Day unfold.

In Orange County, most vote centers are open until 8 p.m., Tuesday Nov. 3.

In Laguna Niguel and Dana Point, vote centers are opening Friday. See the list below, or follow this link for specific location information.
