In today’s world, you either vote by mail in advance or in person on Election Day, but in two years the whole process will change.

While you’ll still be able to vote by mail, in-person voting won’t be confined to one day or one place, Dean Logan, Los Angles County registrar-recorder, said Friday.

Instead, you’ll have 11 days to vote — the first seven days at any of 250 voting centers and at about 1,000 in the last four days, including Election Day, explained to the Whittier Rotary Club as its guest speaker.

In addition, you still will get the printed sample ballot, but you also can get access to an interactive sample ballot that can be called up on your home computer, smartphone or tablet. It will allow you to pre-mark your choices, take them into a voting center with you and vote.

“We’re moving away from single day of voting to 11 days where you go to any location and on any device,” Logan said. “It’s about giving voters a choice of what works best for them. We will meet voters where they are instead of asking voters to find where we are.”

Full implementation of this new system isn’t expected until the March 2020 primary election, he added.

Owen Newcomer, a former Whittier councilman and professor emeritus of political science at Rio Hondo College, said he thinks Logan’s plan will help increase turnout.

“It will make it make it easier for people (to vote),” Newcomer said. “Obviously, we still have to convince people they want to vote. But for those who want to do so, it will be easier.”

The new plan will reduce the number of polling places by 33 percent, from around 4,000 to 1,000, on Election Day. Logan predicted the change will not affect turnout.

“I think that’s why we need to do outreach and education,” he said.

Logan also addressed the issue of the nearly 120,000 voters left off precinct rosters in the recent election in June.

“Understandably for people who experienced that, it was disconcerting,” he said. “I want to express my apology for that.”

Still, no one was denied their right to vote because the state allows people to vote provisionally, he said.

“It was a system error, and we are engaged in a full root cause analysis evaluation to see what caused it,” Loan said.

It’s an issue that’s unlikely to be repeated under the new system, he said, because it won’t rely on a printed roster. Voters will have full access to their full database, he said.
