Rock the Vote, Manhattan Beach
Nov 08, 2022 09:31AM ● By Jeanne Fratello
The Joslyn Center in Manhattan Beach is one of the city's in-person voting centers.
Manhattan Beach, here's your chance to have a say, use your voice, and show that you care. If you haven't voted already, today's the day.
Reminder #1: You can find the candidates for the City Council and MBUSD school board (and their respective web sites) here. You can also find more information about Measure MB and Measure V here.
Reminder #2: Your vote counts! Remember that in the 2020 city election, a City Council seat was decided by only 88 votes, and a school board seat was decided by only 309 votes.
Reminder #3: We might not know the final results for a week or more. In the 2020 city election, the results were not finalized until November 30 (!).

Voting centers are open, rain or shine, until 8:00 p.m.
