Election day nears

The Los Angeles City Clerk's office today put out a reminder to voters that the May 15 election is a week away and urged registered voters to take the time to review their sample ballots to determine who they want to vote for and where their polling place is located.
"Holding an election takes the cooperation and support of hundreds of volunteers from the community to ensure that all voters have the opportunity to vote," City Clerk Frank Martinez said.
For this election, the city will have 2,258 precincts staffed by more than 9,032 precinct workers. In addition, there are more than 1,000 people who work on election night to staff ballot collection
depots, drive trucks and sedans, and tabulate the results of your voting.
Also, the location of your polling place, which is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., is shown on the back cover of your Official Sample Ballot.
Voters also can call the City Clerk Election Division at (888) 873-1000, log on to the Election Division’s website: http://cityclerk.lacity.org/election/, click on on “Find Your Polling Place and Sample Ballot.”
Election Night Results:
• Unofficial Election Night Results are released at Piper Technical Center, 555 Ramirez Street, Los Angeles and also will be on the city website at cityclerk.lacity.org/election/ and televised over L.A. CityView Channel 35.
