Heavy turnout in Los Angeles

| | Comments (0) |

The county Registrar reported more than 2 million people turned out for Tuesday's election at its 4,394 polling places.
"Voter turnout today was extremely heavy and polling places are staying open until the last voter in line at 8:00 P.M. has been allowed to vote," Registrar Dean Logan said in a statement.
"Actual poll closings tonight may be as late as 9:00 P.M. or later. The delay in poll closing and the transportation of ballots to the central counting facility will delay the reporting of election results."
There are closing procedures that must be performed at each polling location before the ballots are turned in for counting and there could be lengthy delays.
