GLENDALE -- So today is March 6, and you haven't even thought about
the March 7 primary elections.
If you haven't registered to vote, you won't vote tomorrow. But if you
have, the county will help you find your polling place and local taxi
companies will take you there for free.
For those of you who don't know where to vote, you can find that
information on the back cover of the sample ballot you should have
received in the mail last week.
If you can't find it, call your city clerk, go to any county library
or call the county Registrar-Recorder at (800) 815-2666.
If you can't make it Tuesday, voters can drive to Norwalk between 8
a.m. and 5 p.m. today and vote absentee.
Need a ride?
Three Glendale taxi companies are offering free rides to voting sites
in Burbank, Glendale and La Canada Flintridge.
City Cab, Yellow Cab Co. and Checker Cab Co., three taxi services run
by the same company, will pick you up, take you to vote and return you
home all day Tuesday.
"It's for seniors more than anything," said Kevin Schaffer, part owner
of the cab companies.
Don't look for free advice, however -- Schaffer said cabbies will not
be sharing their views on their favorite candidates.
But they could, he said.
"Most of the drivers are going for citizenship so they are quite
knowledgeable about the political process," he said.
The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.
