Los Angeles — County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean C. Logan Oct. 7 provided the Board of Supervisors with a detailed update on preparations for California’s Nov. 4 statewide special election on Proposition 50. A motion by Supervisor Janice Hahn approved unanimously at the Board’s Sept. 16 meeting called for the report.
“As the largest county in the nation, Los Angeles County has to run elections at a scale no one else does, and this time we have to do it in an extraordinarily short timeframe. On top of that, we have to make sure that increasing political violence we’ve seen in our country does not make voters feel any less safe as they exercise their constitutional right,” said Hahn. “I’m grateful to County elections staff for their hard work to make sure we’re ready.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom called the special election on Aug. 21, just 75 days before election day, after signing into law a package of bills designed in response to unprecedented partisan redistricting efforts in Texas and other states. In his presentation, Logan offered specifics about the county’s readiness given the compressed timeline, including staffing and volunteer recruitment, voting locations, and safety protocols. Logan cited the reduced number of vote centers that will open for in-person voting for this special election—only 251 countywide—as one of the biggest challenges posed by the shortened timeline.
