The Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) recently announced a partnership with the California Student Vote Coalition to provide voter information at college campuses within the County. The goal of this venture is to inform students attending universities within Los Angeles County about registration and voting in the upcoming November 6, 2012 Presidential Election. The partnership includes a number of voter education events coordinated by the California Student Vote Coalition, throughout college campuses in Los Angeles County.

“With well over 100,000 students, Los Angeles County is home to some of the largest colleges and universities in the nation,” said Dean Logan, Los Angeles County Regis­trar-Recorder/County Clerk, “Stu­dents living on campus and away from home should be up-to-date on their options for registering and voting.”

The California Student Vote Coalition is a non-partisan effort led by the University of California Student Association and other local Student Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs).

“Young voters today are the democracy of tomorrow, and it is essential that college students feel politically empowered to have a voice in the electoral process.” said Logan.

In order to vote in the upcoming November 6 General Election, L.A. County residents must be registered by Monday, October 22 at midnight.

The mission of the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk is to serve Los Angeles County by providing essential records management and election services in a fair, accessible and transparent manner. For more information, visit www.lavote.net.
