The Santa Monica Main Library is one of 21 locations where registered voters in Los Angeles County will have the opportunity to vote early this fall.

It’s part of the “touchscreen early voting” program being coordinated by the county registrar-recorder in conjunction with the November election.

Santa Monica registered voters, and voters from anywhere in Los Angeles County, can cast their ballots at the Main Library, 1343 Sixth Street, in the basement conference room from Oct. 22 through Nov. 1\. Voting hours are from noon to 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

The touchscreen ballot uses technology similar to an ATM machine and contains the same candidates and ballot measures that voters would see on paper ballots at their neighborhood polling place on Election Day, regardless of which touchscreen location is used. Staff from the county registrar’s office will be at the Main Library to help voters through the process.

For more information on early voting, 1 (800) 815-2666\. Visit http://lavote.net/voter/touchscreen to see a listing of the 21 countywide touchscreen locations. Santa Monica election information is available at www.smvote.org and santa-monica.org.
