Los Angeles Unified has a long history of encouraging civic engagement. For every election, we encourage all eligible voters to educate themselves on the facts and exercise their civic right to vote! The deadline to register by mail or online to vote in the November Election is October 21. If you aren’t
registered to vote or need to update your registration visit lavote.net before the deadline! You can also pick-up a paper application at a County Elections office, library, Department of Motor Vehicles office, or a U.S. Post Office. If you or a member of your family is 16 or 17 years old, pre-registering to vote is available
at: https://covr.sos.ca.gov/.
Eligible Los Angeles County residents who miss the October 21st deadline can register at any Vote Center when casting an in-person ballot. The ballot for voters living within the boundaries of the Los Angeles Unified School District includes
Measure US, the Local Public Schools Safety and Upgrades bond measure.
Despite the important investments that have been made or are underway at our schools, more than 60% of our school buildings are more than 50 years old. If approved by 55% of votes cast, Measure US will provide funds to:
• Improve schools for safety and earthquakes
• Upgrade and modernize school facilities for 21st century student learning and college and career preparedness
• Complete essential upgrades to school buildings and grounds (such as roofing, HVAC, plumbing, piping and paving)
• Improve access for individuals with disabilities
• Upgrade school and learning technology
• Create/upgrade green outdoor classrooms/schoolyards
The average annual cost to property owners is estimated at 2.5 cents per $100 of assessed (not market) property value.
Regardless of how you plan to vote, please vote and remember to look for Measure US on your ballot! For
