The County of Los Angeles is regularly updating resources on COVID-19 and offers today's update in an effort to keep you and yours informed. Please share the following up-to-date information:
Voting in LA County this November? Know Your Options.
 If you're voting in LA County this November, guess what, pretty soon you'll have more options on how to cast your ballot. As November approaches, and County residents consider their choices during the COVID-19 health crisis, LA County has added new options for voting. Beginning October 6, LA County will mail all registered voters a Vote By Mail ballot. In addition to receiving the Vote by Mail Ballot, registered voters will also have multiple options for returning the ballot, such as:
-
Dropping it in a Vote by Mail drop box location (which should be found in various civic & community buildings throughout the County);
-
Dropping it off at any Vote Center in the County; or
-
Dropping it in the mail (remember, no postage is necessary, but it does need to be postmarked by Election Day)
Also new this year - a tracking option! LA County voters will have the option of tracking their ballot through the free "Where's My Ballot" service. When you subscribe to the service you can request to receive personalized text messages, emails or automated voice messages on your Vote By Mail ballot.
To sign up to track your ballot, or for more information on the new voting options, visit the LA County Registrar-Recorder here.
The Music Center Launches For the Love of LA

#TheRiskIsReal
Trends in LA County continue to show the majority of COVID-19 cases are driven by people UNDER 50 years of age. Today, we share Shelby's story. Shelby is a 29-year-old LA County resident and was a COVID-19 patient in our hospital system. Below, you'll find her incredible story:
Help us and other COVID-19 survivors spread awareness on the importance of masking up, keeping 6 feet away from people we don't live with, and washing our hands regularly.
