The LA Board of Supervisors wants more voting centers located in ethnic communities to avoid disenfranchising them.
In an effort to prevent disenfranchising ethnic voters during the 2024 presidential elections, Los Angeles County will pursue creation of additional in-person voting centers in non-English speaking communities, and will incentivize the hiring of bilingual polling workers.
Solis mentioned the absence of voting centers in Koreatown and Chinatown shortly before the June 2022 primary. Only after the problem was brought to the county’s attention were some smaller, makeshift voting centers added to neighborhoods where many voters speak Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese. He said the supervisors’ motion was part of a “reasonable request” from the board. He said his group and Dean Logan, the county’s Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, have been working together since 2018.
In 2017, Korean-speaking voters received sample ballots with misinformation. The names of some candidates were printed in an order that did not match the order in the mail-in ballots, according to the motion adopted by the supervisors. The error impacted 305,000 voters, the motion stated. “There were a lot of fear tactics perpetuated about drop boxes,” Hahn said. “I’d like to see our Registrar-Recorder address the hesitancy by some cities that almost refused to have drop boxes in their cities or limited them to only one. They are safe, secure and a viable way to cast your ballot.”
