VENICE, CA — Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan announced Tuesday that dozens of Los Angeles Unified School District campuses will serve as vote centers in the Nov. 3 election.

"We're thankful for this important and continued collaboration with Los Angeles Unified School District to provide schools as vote centers in the upcoming presidential general election," Logan said. "LAUSD's leadership in hosting a vote center at these trusted and well-known locations ensures voters have a safe, accessible, and trusted place to cast their ballot in-person."

He said as many as 150 schools are being evaluated as voting centers, with the finalized list expected to be posted on the department's website by early next month.
