Community & Voter Outreach Committee
The Community and Voter Outreach Committee (CVOC) is a partnership between the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk and citizen, community and advocacy organizations. Since its inception in 1998 the committee has been a model of citizen participation in government.
The mission of the committee is to facilitate communication and collaboration between the community and the Registrar of Voters about ways to educate, engage and provide quality service to and ensure accessibility for all voters. Citizens play an active and collaborative role in working with County Election officials to ensure that elections are fair, accessible and transparent for all voters.
What do we do?
The CVOC works in partnership with various sectors of the community on providing better services to voters with specific needs, voters with language assistance needs, and in helping to disseminate information about important election issues, such as provisional ballots, translated election materials and voting systems.
