Meet the Moment on Election Day

by Maria S. Salinas

It’s up to you to ensure your voice and values are heard this Election Day. Between now and November 8, millions of Angelenos and Californians alike will fill-in their ballots and return them to a drop box or cast a ballot in-person.

This is one of the most important elections with significant changes expected in elected leadership at the local, state, and national level. We must meet this moment with our vote.

With the recent controversy at L.A. City Hall, it’s even more important for voters to provide a mandate, not only for new and existing members of the City Council, but also all elected officials. Those we elect in November will shape policy for the next decade, so we have a tremendous responsibility on our hands. These elections also allow residents to provide guidance, a vision and new leadership to our county, state, and federally elected officials. It’s imperative you not only cast your own ballot, but also speak to your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers about the importance of voting on Election Day.

To find your polling place visit here — on November 8 — polls close at 8:00 p.m. Many will choose to vote early and drop their ballots off at a drop box.

If you have any questions about voting, leverage the California Secretary of State’s website as an important resource. There, you can find the California Voters Bill of Rights, voting laws, and so much more.

The Chamber had the opportunity to meet with many of the candidates for this election, and we have reviewed their policies, platforms, and proposals. See the full list of our endorsements here.
