VSAP Advisory Committee

Mission & Goals

The Voting Systems Assessment Project (VSAP) was launched by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk to determine the needs of voters through modernizing the county’s voting system. The VSAP uses a new participatory approach that focuses on system development and implementation with voters in mind and the public’s trust as a core value.

In the beginning stages of the assessment project, citizen input was gathered through discussions with individual voters, the academic community, public interest organizations and policy makers. The input was used to a collaborative process between the department and the Advisory Committee that produced a set of guiding principles for the project. The principles balanced voter needs with operational wants.

Check back periodically to stay informed on the progress of VSAP's groundbreaking efforts, as well as opportunities to contribute to this innovative effort to modernize the way voters are heard in Los Angeles County.
