Election directions

On June 5, I was among the many people who worked a 15-hour day at a polling place. There’s so much to set up, monitor, and take care of, with ballot counting later. It is very organized, and strict procedures are followed and checked on by supervisors.
I was at the Willow Ridge Club House polling place. We had 65 ballots cast all day, of 585 possible (some others were mail-in from that total).
It’s time to remind people to vote in the November election, whether in person or by mail. And, please, everyone, check your sample ballot for your polling place. Many people were moved over to the Discovery Well Park poll and just showed up at their usual place on Willow, where they weren’t on the rolls. “Never assume” applies here, it seems.
Attached is a photo of Destinee Magee, a young Signal Hill woman who was a poll worker and also was excited to vote for the first time.
