Inglewood is the home of the Forum and will soon be the home of the LA Clippers. Now, it will also be a home for local voters to come together and help shape a brighter future. “
Voters will be able to vote in person or deliver ballots by post to the Forum from 24 October to 3 November. The Voting Center at the Forum will follow all guidelines and best practices from the CDC and public health.
