An election is essentially a formal decision-making process in which a population chooses an individual or multiple individuals to hold public office. Citizens are given the platform to make a decision about how they want their government to work. Those elected to hold public office hold the responsibility to represent citizens during policy making and major state/country decisions. Here in the U.S. the candidate with the most votes wins. This process ensures a secure power transition.

The ballots (list of candidates) are mailed. While looking at the ballot you might be overwhelmed by the amount of candidates. Technically, anyone can sign up to run in elections, which has led to the ballot being very long and overwhelming. We created this Google site in order to help you filter out names and ensure California is in good hands. You can decide to vote in person or mail in your ballot. If you decide to vote by mail, it is most recommended send it back early!

Throughout the years, there has definitely been a decline in voting. Many believe that their vote is not needed, but this is not true. If anything, when people begin to believe this, elections become vulnerable to fraud. Your vote matters! We all have a voice, and it's important to recognize our power as people. Remember the government works for the people! 

There are multiple ways to register to vote including:

We noticed that a lot of people don't know where they can vote! Here is a list of locations where you can vote in person. 4-day refers to the total number of days the center will be open. Typically, it is the Saturday before election day through election day itself. 11-day centers also exist, but here is the list of locations in or around Compton.
