Where To Vote In Montrose-La Crescenta: Polling Places, Hours

MONTROSE-LA CRESCENTA, CA — Los Angeles County residents will head to the polls Tuesday to vote in the presidential race and on the myriad of state and local issues on the ballot.

Voting seemed to go smoothly at most locations that were open early — some a full 11 days before the election — although a few experienced delays getting up and running.

Another feature of the new system is that voters who missed the deadline to register can cast a conditional ballot anytime during early voting up until Election Day. Eligibility will be verified before their votes are counted.

At the centers, registered voters are handed a blank ballot with a bar code that — when inserted into the voting machine — will load the relevant national, state, county and city races onto an electronic touch-screen tool. Once they use the touch screen to select their candidates and vote on various ballot measures, their choices are printed onto a paper ballot.

Voters with access to a printer or smartphone who want to save time at the polls can access an electronic sample ballot at https://lavote.net and preload their choices onto a printed or mobile "poll pass." When the poll pass is scanned into a ballot reader at the voting center, the voter's choices are revealed and there is an opportunity to make any last-minute changes.
