In an effort to help boost voter engagement and participation across Los Angeles County during the 2024 general election, the Center for Inclusive Democracy (CID), in partnership with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/ County Clerk (RR/CC), has launched an update of its digital Los Angeles County Voter Turnout Tool.
Just as it has with past elections, the tool provides voting advocacy groups, election officials, and the general public with unofficial counts of voters who have cast a ballot in Los Angeles County by mail, drop box, and in-person at the precinct level and by Vote Center. For the general election, the tool provides updates daily during the early voting period and hourly on Election Day. In addition, the tool enables users to map neighborhood demographic characteristics, as well as previous election turnout data to inform outreach and voter education efforts.
“Knowing which communities have high or low voter participation leading up to the election can be critical to getting out the vote,” said Mindy Romero, CID director. “The online Voter Turnout Tool allows communities across Los Angeles County the opportunity to better track early and election day voting, as well as plan nonpartisan outreach neighborhood by neighborhood within the county.”
The Voter Turnout Tool was first introduced during the 2020 General Election. It is the second web-based application offered by CID to help both advocacy groups and election officials plan election-related decision-making and outreach. The other—the CID Voting Location and Outreach Tool—is a web-based interactive data mapping system that helps communities identify accessible Vote Centers and polling places likely to have the most success serving voters. Now available in 14 states, the Voting Location and Outreach Tool and its detailed data maps have been widely used to inform community-based voter outreach efforts across the country.
