Voting season is in full swing, and vote-by-mail ballots from cities throughout Los Angeles County are already being processed. This is a high-stakes election year, and officials want to ensure that every eligible vote is counted. Ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 5, but the faster ballots reach the processing center, the more quickly California’s results are in. Those who choose to vote by mail can leave their ballots in any United States Post Office mailbox, but there are also two other easy ways to cast your vote.

Those who have already filled in their ballot at home can drop their sealed and signed envelopes in either one of two drop boxes in Beverly Hills. These are open now until election night:

• City Hall (next to Kelly’s Coffee and Fudge)

455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills

• Roxbury Park Community Center

471 S. Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills

Those who prefer the traditional method of voting can visit one of four in-person voting centers in Beverly Hills. They are open 10 a.m.- 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.- 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Beverly Hills City Hall is open now until Nov. 5.

The Roxbury Park Clubhouse is open from Nov. 2-5.

The Rodeo Room at La Cienega Tennis Center is open from Nov. 2-5.

The Horace Mann Elementary School Auditorium (Charleville Entrance) is open from Nov. 2- 5.

The results will begin to be posted after the polls close on election night, but the official results won’t be in until every single vote is counted. With vote-by-mail ballots being postmarked up until Election Day, this means that some votes won’t be counted until up to a week later.
