Inglewood City Hall May Offer Voters A Convenient Polling PlaceDuring The 2024 Election Season

With the 2024 Election season fast approaching, city officials are working to provide Inglewood City Hall as a polling place, offering voters a convenient and safe place to cast their ballots.
During the October 3rd City Council meeting, City Clerk Aisha Thompson said she hoped to receive confirmation from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s office to offer City Hall as a polling place.
“I just want to get the word out to our public that there is a primary election coming on March 5, 2024,” said Thompson. “ I, and my office, are working with the County Registrar’s office to have City Hall as a polling location,” said Thompson. “I am working diligently to get that confirmed,” she said, adding that Sample Ballots will be mailed out by January 5th and the vote by mail will go out no later than February 5th.

Council members also approved an Alcohol Policing Partnership grant in the amount of $74,967 for Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

Council also approved continuing to retain HF&H Consultants, LLC for ongoing solid waste monitoring consulting services for an additional three years, beginning December 1, 2023, to November 30, 2026, in an amount not to exceed $299,000 with a ten percent contingency compensation.
Residents can expect to see future capital improvements at Edward Vincent Park on Warren Lane and the Community Center in District 4 in 2023-2024. The council members approved an agreement with Voltaire Engineering Inc.’s bid to repair the park’s decomposed granite for an amount not to exceed $209,880.
