With the deadline to register to vote 18 days away, registration is proceeding at a record-setting pace, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk reported Thursday.
Last month, about 150,000 Los Angeles County residents registered to
Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Dean Logan attributed last month's spike in registrations to the new ability to register online.
"Online voter registration is fast, convenient and secure. In a short
time, we have seen the impact of this expanded access," Logan said.
There are still about 3 million county residents who are eligible, but not currently registered, to vote, according to the registrar's office.
The deadline to register to cast a ballot on Nov. 6 is Oct. 22.
Los Angeles County residents can register online at www.lavote.net.
