Supervisor Kathryn Barger released this statement reacting to the\u00a0Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder\/County Clerk<\/a>\u00a0starting to issue Vote by Mail ballots today for the upcoming November 20224 election:<\/p>\n

\u201cVoting is a fundamental right and a cornerstone of democracy. The Vote by Mail ballots that have started being mailed out today give Los Angeles County citizens an opportunity to cast their vote in a convenient and accessible way.<\/em><\/p>\n

In person voting will certainly always be an option. But, for individuals who may have difficulty reaching polling places\u2014such as the elderly, disabled, or those living in remote areas\u2014these ballots can be a more comfortable way to participate in elections.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Enhancing ways the public can exercise their right to vote through a secure democratic process is crucial for shaping the future we desire.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Voters can expect to start receiving their ballots in the mail within the next few days. A\u00a0new tracking mechanism for ballots called \u201cWhere\u2019s My Ballot\u201d is also now available<\/a>\u00a0that tracks when ballots have been mailed, received, and counted. More information is available at\u00a0lavote.gov<\/a>\u00a0on the\u00a0Make Your Plan to Vote webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
