Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) Dean Logan announced that polling location address information and images of sample ballot pages for the November 4, 2008 Presidential General Election are now available online at www.lavote.net. We are happy to offer this interactive service to Los Angeles County residents, Logan said. We are committed to providing accurate and efficient information and we encourage everyone to visit our web site or to call us with any questions.
Voters may access their polling location and sample ballot information at www.lavote.net by clicking on Locate Polling Place or View Sample Ballot from the Online Services box located on the right margin of the home page. Our website includes a wide range of voter information and educational materials to assist voters as they prepare to cast ballots in the November 4, 2008 Presidential Election, Logan added.
Voters must provide their house number and street name, which the system matches to the corresponding polling location and sample ballot information. The voter’s polling location address is displayed and a View Sample Ballot link appears, enabling the voter to access their sample ballot, including images of the official ballot pages, candidate statements, ballot measure, analyses and arguments that are applicable to their ballot. In addition to English, online information is also available in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Tagalog/Filipino. There are 706 different ballot combinations for the November 4th Election. These combinations consist of Federal, State and local contests as well as ballot measures that apply to local jurisdictions throughout Los Angeles County.
A voter may also call the RR/CC Office at (800) 815-2666 and use the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone system to obtain automated polling location address information. The IVR system prompts the voter to use the telephone key pad to select digits corresponding to the voter’s zip code, street address and numeric birth date. The IVR then accesses the voter registration file seeking a match for the data provided. If a match is located, an automated voice recites the polling location address to the voter. If a match is not found, the caller is transferred to a live operator for assistance.
