Los Angeles County opened a vote center at USC Village on Saturday, one of 523 vote centers opening across the county that day. Voters may cast a ballot at any county vote center regardless of home address.
Why it matters
Los Angeles County does not assign voters to a single polling place, so residents can vote at any of the county's vote centers. Voters who are in line when polls close at 8 p.m. are still permitted to cast a ballot.
The county operates 646 vote centers in total, with 523 opening Saturday and 123 open since Oct. 24. The USC Village center in Room UVN-1200 is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Monday and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day.
