There is now less than a week until the 2022 General Election. Canvassers at the door, ballot parties, phone bank calls, cluttered mailboxes and requests for donations will soon be over.

Hopefully, most Leisure World residents have already submitted their ballots. Those who haven’t voted or who are not yet registered to vote are reminded that California provides for same-day registration for all residents.

Potential voters can register and then immediately vote at any official vote centers up until 8 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8. The center nearest to Leisure World will be at the fire station outside the North Gate. It will be open from 8 a.m.–8 p.m. beginning Saturday, Nov. 5.

Democrats and supporters can call 562-296-8521 or email sblwdemocraticclub@gmail.com for assistance in the voting process. Information will also be available at the Democratic Club’s Hospitality and Information Booth. This booth will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. in the parking lot outside Clubhouse 6 until after the election.

Democratic Club members will have an opportunity to discuss the results of the election—as well as brainstorm about the future—during the next meeting on Nov. 23 in Clubhouse 3, Room 9, at 1 p.m. The election of the 2023-2024 board will also be held during the meeting.

To subscribe to the club’s electronic newsletter, call 562-2968521 or email democraticclubsblw@gmail.com. People are asked to include their full name, address, phone number and party affiliation.
