More than 11 million voters in California have already returned their ballot, but some last-minute voters will don face masks to make their voices heard at polling places in person on Tuesday.

"We want to make it easy for people to reach the polls or vote by mail and cast their ballot this election,'' Metro CEO Phillip Washington said. "Democracy works best when everyone participates in it and has a voice, and we want to ensure that voting is easy and accessible to all those who rely on the Metro system.''

Montebello Mayor Salvador Melendez said his city also wants to help commuters cast their votes.

"As the region's third largest bus system, Montebello Bus Lines is in a unique position to help local residents and commuters travel safely to the polls and exercise their right to vote,'' he said.
