TOGETHER WITH VOTECHELLA
Parents, this one's for you. Votechella returns to the South Lawn of Inglewood City Hall on Wednesday, September 16 — and this year's biggest mission is your kids. Teens 16 and 17 can preregister to vote right on site, so they're automatically ready to cast a ballot the moment they turn 18. It's one of the most powerful head starts you can give them, and the City Clerk's team will walk them through it in minutes.
And Inglewood is making it worth the trip: MacBook giveaways, tons of prizes, live performances from Wallet Sensei and Joe Moses, a live DJ, food, and family activities all afternoon.
City Clerk Aisha L. Thompson and Mayor James T. Butts, Jr. will be on hand, and staff will also help you check your own registration and break down what's on the ballot this election season. Bring the whole family, leave with your teen registered — and maybe a new laptop. Free and open to all.
