Midnight madness! Register to vote!

May 19, 2008 |  5:32 pm

It's the election officials' version of a rave! Without the music and the Ecstasy. Starting now, and rolling until midnight! Don't you dare miss it! Register to vote in the June 3 election! Your pick of three hot locations! The hippest Starbucks in town! Or the coolest courthouse west of La Brea! Or the rockinest registrar's headquarters, right where it's all happening — Norwalk! It's your last chance!

No, really. Los Angeles County elections officials will be on hand to register voters for the June stealth primary at three locations until midnight (pdf) and, for you folks who have aged out of the rave scene, five other locations until 9 p.m.

If you're already registered, and haven't changed parties or addresses, and haven't been convicted of a felony, you're OK. Otherwise, this is your final shot to be able to weigh in on two important ballot measures on government land-grabbing and, if you live in the Second Supervisorial District, it's your chance to decide the fate of Los Angeles County for the next 12 years. It's also your chance to make sure that the author of a tract proposing that all non-white people be expelled from the United States doesn't (or does; it's your vote, and for now it's still a free country) become a Los Angeles Superior Court judge. And that's no hype.

Here are the until-midnight hot spots:

Registrar-Recorder Headquarters, 12400 Imperial Hwy., Norwalk

Beverly Hills District Court, 9355 Burton Way, Beverly Hills

Magic Johnson Starbucks, 5301 W. Centinela, Los Angeles
