Registered voters in Los Angeles County should now be receiving mailed Sample Ballot Books for the Nov. 3, 2026 General Election, LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan announced.
The Sample Ballot Book offers essential election information on candidates, measures, and secure voting options. LA County lets voters pre-mark their selections on the sample ballot and bring it to the ballot box to make voting easier.
In this year’s midterm election, California voters will elect a new governor, state assembly members and senators, U.S. representatives, and will consider 14 state propositions, among other items.
