SCHMIT COUNTY CLERK AND RECORDER August 4, 2005 Honorable John R. Smiley, Presiding Judge Superior Court of California, Ventura County Hall of Justice, #2120 800 S. Victoria Avenue Ventura, CA 93009 Dear Judge Smiley: The following is provided in response to the Ventura County 2004-2005 Grand Jury report titled, Ventura County Registration and Voting. The report was forwarded to me under Grand Jury letter of June 17, 2005 from Dawn S. Hall, Foreperson, Ventura County 2004-2005 Grand Jury. Findings: I concur with all findings detailed in the report with the following exceptions:
- Identification is not required to register to vote. However, if the voter registers by mail and does not provide their California Driver License number or last four digits of their Social Security Number for validation with the County/State, the voter will be asked to provide identification at the time they first vote in the County/State. If no identification is provided the voter may vote a provisional ballot.
No recommendations for this finding
- Concur in part. Residual vote is based on undervotes and overvotes by contest. Uncounted ballots regardless of reason are not part of the residual vote calculation.
No recommendations for this finding
- Concur in part. After the Consent Decree, voters will continue to receive separate English or Spanish election materials (i.e. Sample Ballot books) with exception of the official ballot, which will be bilingual. Voter information at the polling place will be provided in bilingual format. The D.O.J. has agreed to allow Ventura County to print a separate English and Spanish official ballot while the County continues to use the Datavote ballot system through 2005.
