The Vote Center in the Campus Inn

To vote or drop off your ballot, you can find the Campus Inn at the back end of the Lower Quad. The Campus Inn is east of the Learning Resource Center building. 

Dr. Russell Castaneda-Calleros, from the Rio Hondo College Government and Community Relations Office, noted that having a vote center at the college–a place that students can especially access if they are taking classes on campus–“gives students another option if they have a busy schedule.”

Students and local residents who aren’t yet registered to vote can register the same day at the Rio Hondo vote center.  

There are more vote centers and drop-off boxes around Rio Hondo College at places like South El Monte High School, the Pico Park Community Center, and the Hacienda Heights Community Center.You can find vote centers and drop-off locations by visiting the California Secretary of State website.
