Today is Election Day, but a combination of voting by mail and more recent early in-person voting has been ongoing for weeks.

In Los Angeles County, about 1.7 million votes had been cast by the end of Sunday, according to the Los Angeles County registrar’s office.

That breaks down to 1,429,800 vote-by-mail ballots returned and 255,800 votes at vote centers, the registrar reported. There are 5,722,621 registered voters in the county.

There are still a few ways to cast your ballot:

Vote by going to any of the 648 vote centers throughout Los Angeles County. Voters can go to any one of the centers to cast a ballot. Vote centers are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. today. To locate a vote center, call 1-800-815-2666 or go to locator.lavote.

The online site shows the wait time at each location. Also, you can go to the registrar’s main website for more information at www .lavote.gov. Voters who need time off from work to vote and are scheduled to work tomorrow can get two hours of paid leave from their employer, as required by state law.

Vote by filling out your vote-by-mail ballot. Those ballots have been sent to all registered voters. In this general election, the ballot contains the presidential election; congressional, statewide and local races; and state, county and local ballot measures. There are 693 races and 93 local measures.

Remember to sign the return envelope. The registrar verifies the signature on the return envelope with the signature on the voter’s registration record to confirm eligibility.

Completed vote-by-mail ballots can be placed in the U.S. mail — no postage required — in one of more than 400 official drop boxes, or taken to a vote center. If mailed, the ballot must be postmarked by Election Day and received within seven days after Election Day. To find drop box locations go to locator.lavote.gov.

Almost 70% of Americans reported the election is causing significant stress in their lives. A recent survey on behalf of the American Psychological Association found that 77% said the future of the nation was a stressor in their lives, while 69% said the stress was tied to the presidential race.

Psychologists and academicians recommended breathing exercises to tamp down anxious thoughts. Also, they advise voters to keep normal routines, get enough sleep, eat well and exercise.
