    It's the end of a voting era in Los Angeles. Those who cast their ballot in the LA Unified School Board election at a local school or church likely did so for the last time. As the county prepares for a major update of its voting processes in time for the presidential primary in March 2020, election officials are consolidating polling places. From now on, you can either vote by mail or go to an official voting center.
