SANTA MONICA, CA — The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, in partnership with the Los Angeles County Registrar’s office, will host eight voting sites at Santa Monica and Malibu schools in October for early voting this month and Nov. 3 for Election Day.

Voting begins either Oct. 24 or Oct. 30 and sites will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. except on Election Day when they will open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
