Tomorrow Is Election Day: Where to Vote in the Coachella Valley
Election Day is tomorrow, and Riverside County is expecting record turnout as 23.1 million Californians are now registered to vote statewide, the highest total in state history. Across the county, more than 1.4 million vote-by-mail ballots have been issued, and as of this morning, more than 257,000 have already been returned.
If you haven't mailed your ballot yet, you can drop it off or vote in person at any vote center in the county. More than 130 additional locations opened over the weekend, bringing the countywide total to 152. Today, centers are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Election Day, all locations open at 7 a.m. and stay open until 8 p.m. You do not have to vote at a location near your home; any site in the county will work. If you still need to register, same-day registration is available at any vote center through the end of Election Day.

Nearly a year after wildfires tore through Mountain Center, the scars are still visible along the Palms to Pines Highway. Now, fire crews are working to repair those burn areas and reduce the risk of flooding, erosion and mudslides when heavy rain arrives. The work includes fire-line suppression repairs, water bars and other measures designed to slow rainwater and keep burned soil from washing away. CAL FIRE Riverside County Battalion Chief Ryan Lubin says the steep terrain, dry brush and limited access continue to create challenges for mountain communities.

More than 2,000 rescues — and the year isn’t over yet. Santa Clemente lifeguards are keeping a close eye on the Pacific as they prepare for potentially stronger surf and bigger waves this winter. From Tower Zero, lifeguards monitor the entire beach and use cameras to spot trouble in the water. One of their biggest concerns? Rip currents, which can pull swimmers far from shore. With more rescues already this year than all of last year, lifeguards say the key is simple: be ready before someone needs help. #SanClemente #Lifeguards #OceanSafety #RipCurrents #BeachSafety SurfSafety SouthernCalifornia PacificOcean NBCPalmSprings
