LOS ANGELES, CA — The 2016 presidential campaign barely ended and with the new president already back out on the campaign trail for the 2020 race, you might be looking for a break from politics. However, there are some important primary races on the March 7 ballot, and Tuesday, Feb. 21 is the deadline to register.
Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan has issued a number of tips for registering to vote, including that registration can be done online at registertovote.ca.gov; forms that can be mailed are available at libraries, post offices and most government agencies. Registration forms can also be dropped off at 12400 Imperial Highway, 3rd Floor (Room 3002), Norwalk CA 90650.
Registered voters who have moved or changed their names since the last election must re-register to vote.
