This is a map of the civic ground under your feet, because knowing where your city hall sits and where your public library opens its doors is the start of knowing how your town works, and so the Mapa del Barrio gathers those landmarks across Southeast Los Angeles and the Orange County cities into one place you can filter to your own area, recenter, and read up close.
Pick an area from the list and the map will recenter and show only the landmarks in that area, and you can turn the categories on and off to see just the city halls, just the libraries, or the community resources. Every pin is a real, named building with an approximate location, so the map is honest example content while the official voting places are still being set.
Official polling places, vote centers and ballot drop boxes are not on this map, because the county registrars publish those locations closer to the election and they can change, so the only reliable source is the registrar for your county. In Los Angeles County, look them up at the Registrar-Recorder at lavote.gov. In Orange County, which covers Santa Ana, Anaheim and Garden Grove, look them up at the Registrar of Voters at ocvote.gov. Both sites have a tool that finds your nearest location once you enter your address.
Choose where you live. The pins are the city hall and main public library of each city, plus community resources.
The interactive map could not load right now. You can still find every civic landmark below, and you can look up your official polling place at lavote.gov for Los Angeles County or ocvote.gov for Orange County.
This map grows from what neighbors know, and so if you can name a community resource, a partner organization, a clinic, a food pantry, a park or any civic landmark that belongs on the Mapa del Barrio, please send it to us, and a community team member will check it and add it so the next person can find it too.
