Vote Center Model Research Voters expressed concerns about the new voter center model Most voters were unwilling to travel more than 5-15 min to use a VC There are disparities in California’s mail ballot rejection rates Targeted and sustained education efforts will be critical to successfully utilize the new election model System should have accountability/outcomes should be tracked Vote Center Model Research

Vote Center Model VBM ballots being sent to all registered voters A minimum of one ballot drop-box location for every 15,000 registered At least 1 VC per 10,000 registered voters, with at least two per jurisdiction 3 days prior, at least one VC (per 50,000 voters) of which must be open 10 days before the election Voting can occur at any open VC in a participating county LA County would not be required to mail every registered voter a Vote-by-Mail ballot and would have lower VC ratio Vote Center Model

Non-Traditional Forms of C.E. Underrepresented communities often have few traditional pathways to engagement How we measure C.E. doesn’t match accessible resources Or the culturally relevant expressions of C.E. We aren’t measuring the full level of C.E. Power pathways are less accessible

Types of Civic Engagement Definition: Any effort by people to improve the quality of life in their communities Typology: Formal political participation Participation in civic/community organizations, clubs, boards Everyday civic engagement
