LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles is one of 38 California counties that have joined VoteCal, an online voter database that allows residents to register to vote online, check the status of vote-by-mail ballots and find their polling places, authorities announced.

Los Angeles County, along with Glenn, Fresno, Kern and Napa counties, launched VoteCal on Monday.

“We are hitting the home stretch, as VoteCal has been deployed in over two-thirds of the state,” said Secretary of State Alex Padilla, calling it a “monumental step in connecting all of California to a modernized, uniform voter registration database.”

In addition to helping voters, the database will allow county officials to accurately maintain voter rolls.

“This is a critical step forward in enabling other reforms to enhance the voting experience in California and to better ensure the integrity of our voter registration data,” said Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan.

VoteCal will improve service to Los Angeles County voters by:

  • Providing a publicly available website that allows voters to register online, check the status of their ballot, and find their polling place.
  • Giving voters the ability to see if their vote-by-mail or provisional ballot was counted by their county elections official and, if it was not, why not.
  • Providing a single, official statewide database of voter registration information.

    Isn’t it amazing how California is pushing for easier voting in order to improve participation, while states dominated by Republicans are trying ploy after ploy to suppress turnout?

    Okay, I guess that isn’t really amazing.

      I heard a few years back, AV College was removed as a place to vote. I wonder who was at the root of that ploy. Maybe someone that wants to make it harder for the young and educated to vote? I doubt the current hacks will want that changed.

        You can always vote at Lancaster Babtist Church where a couple thousand lemmings line up election day to cast votes for Rex and his ilk.
