Today is Election Day: PLEASE VOTE!

Leave a reply

Today, March 7th, is election day across L.A. County! Remember to bike the vote. #BikeTheVote

Vote today! Find your polling location & look up a sample ballot, and make sure you bike the vote. Polls are open until 8 p.m.

Know your voting rights (from the LA Fed)! Your employer is required by law to give you time off to vote. You can vote if your name isn’t on the list using a provisional ballot. You can vote after polls close, as long as you’re in line. You can change your vote if you make a mistake — just ask for a new ballot. You can take your vote-by-mail ballot to any polling location (and you can trade it for a new one if you make a mistake on it).

Vote No on S, Yes on H
