The Times Publishes Voter Guide and Election Resources as Early Voting Begins
The “I Voted Early” sticker will appear on the cover of the Calendar section on Sunday, Oct. 11.
This week, as Californians began receiving their mail-in ballots and vote centers officially opened, the Los Angeles Times published a collection of voter and election resources in advance of Nov. 3. The collection includes step-by-step guides, explainer videos, in-depth reporting on candidates and ballot propositions, and more. Additionally, the Sunday, Oct. 11 print edition will include a special “I voted early” sticker, and a digital version will be available as a GIF on Instagram, for readers who participate in early voting.
