On Nov. 3, Beverly Hills voters will cast ballots in the Special Municipal Election for Ballot Measure RP, the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) school board election, and of course, the national Presidential General Election. In preparation for the voting process, the City Clerk’s office has presented possible locations for vote centers that meet COVID-19 restrictions and vote-by-mail (VBM) Drop Boxes. The discussions during the Sept. 1 City Council Study Session also addressed concerns from the public regarding the reliability of the United States Postal Service (USPS), measures being taken to ensure a fair election, resources for voters, protections against voter fraud and how to safely vote this November.
“While we really can’t say for sure what our situation will be in November, we have no choice but to plan based on information we have today,” said City Clerk Huma Ahmed. “And that is, we are still in a global pandemic due to COVID-19 and that there is still a declared emergency in place.”
