About Public Observation
California Elections Code allows the public to observe a variety of election-related activities. Public observation provides a great opportunity to view and learn about the various activities that go into conducting an election.
It is not necessary to make arrangements in advance, but it is helpful to notify and schedule with our office in advance to a planned visit.
Email outreach@rrcc.lacounty.gov to coordinate a visit or to ask election-related questions.
Election Observer Panel Plan
The Election Observer Panel Plan (EOPP) is filed with the California Secretary of State's office and is available to view on the Current and Upcoming Elections Page. After Election Night, the schedule of post-Election Night results will be posted on the entrance door of the Norwalk Headquarters and is available on the Current and Upcoming Elections Page.
