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.

Juan Jose Fuentes, El Centro resident and first time voter.

"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.

19-year-old Nicholas Sandoval, Imperial resident and first time voter.

"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.
