Today voters have visited 4,822 polling places in Los Angeles County. The polling places were staffed by 21,173 dedicated poll workers serving voters from 7:00 A.M. this morning until 8:00 P.M. tonight.

At the end of voting today the polling place staff must perform closing procedures that include counting the number of voted ballots and voter signatures signed in the roster, they must pack up voting booths, voting devices and voting supplies. Voted ballots are placed in a designated red box, secured with a special seal which is signed by the two senior poll workers. All of the polling place materials are then transported by two or more poll workers to a nearby central check-in center, typically a city hall or public building, where the individually sealed red ballot boxes are placed in a special fireproof bag for final transport to the central counting facility by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department.
