“We’re proud to partner with the Los Angeles County Registrar Office to engage L.A. county residents in the election process as they cast their ballots and make their voices heard,” said Karen Irwin, President and COO, Universal Studios Hollywood.  “As one of L.A. County’s diverse cultural epicenters, we are thrilled to have Universal CityWalk be a Vote Center for residents to fulfill their civic duty.”

“I’m grateful to Universal CityWalk,” said Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, “and all our vote centers for providing in-person voting options. Vote by mail is a reliable and convenient option, but for those people who want the experience of dropping off or casting their ballot at a vote center, the new Universal CityWalk vote center is a great additional option for those who live or work near Universal City.” 
“I am pleased to announce Universal CityWalk will serve as a Vote Center in the Presidential General Election,” said Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan. “Voters can receive the Hollywood experience as they safely cast their ballot in-person at CityWalk. It’s partnerships like this that strengthen our democracy and community efforts to enfranchise safe and accessible in-person voting.”
