CBS 13's Alexandra Rangel tells you what to expect at the polls come Election Day

EL CENTRO, Calif.(KYMA, KECY) - It was a busy, but exciting morning at the Imperial County Registrar of Voters Monday.

Polls opened at 7:00 a.m. with many voters ready to cast their ballot.

We spoke to several first-time voters who said this election is too important to not vote.

"I feel very privilege to be voting," said Fuentes. Whoever ends up winning, I'm okay with that, but I hope that moving forward the Latino population will be much more appreciated than we are now," said Fuentes.

We spoke to another first time voter who said it's a civic duty to vote.

"Get out and vote, it's one of those things that can change the outcome of your country, no matter what people may say, just go out and vote," said Sandoval.

There are nearly 85,000 registered voters in Imperial County. Polling sites will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. until Election day.
