Where To Vote In Los Alamitos & Seal Beach: Cast Your Ballot 2020
See a list of polling places in Los Alamitos and Seal Beach to vote & drop off your ballot in person for the Nov. 3 election.
LOS ALAMITOS, CA — Voting in the November presidential election will look a little different this year, with many ballots already cast by mail. But you still can cast or hand off your ballot in person this year on Election Day.
Dubbed "vote centers" rather than "polling places," physical voting locations will also be a bit different than in years past.
The amount of in-person polling places in California will be limited compared to previous elections, in accordance with a law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in August, but some vote centers already opened as early as Oct. 24.

Centers are required to remain open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Although every registered and active voter in California was already mailed a ballot in October, polling places will be open for same-day voter registration, for those who need assistance with language or disabilities — or for those who simply want to witness the historic, Election Day unfold.
