Some 118 vote center locations opened Saturday for those who wanted to participate in the election in person or simply drop off their completed ballots. Those locations include The Forum in Inglewood and Staples Center in downtown L.A., which will operate through Nov. 3.
Voting centers across the county will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, with extended hours on Election Day.
On Oct. 30, another 648 locations will open across the county, including Banc of California Stadium and Dodger Stadium.
LA County residents can cast their vote at Dodger Stadium this year. Here's what that'll look like
So far, more than 1.6 million vote-by-mail ballots have been returned in L.A. County. More than 600,000 mail-in ballots have been returned in Orange County.

The vote center concept replaces the traditional precinct system, which required voters to cast ballots at designated locations. Officials hope the new system will encourage people to cast their ballots early, reducing the possibility of long lines at polling places on Election Day.
