Volunteers needed for Registrar of Voters Office election observer panel for March 5 primary

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Registrar of Voters Office will convene an election observer panel to observe activities associated with the presidential primary election, which will be held on March 5.

Representatives of the Lake County Grand Jury, political party county central committees, local clubs, media and other groups or individuals expressing an interest in observing Election Day activities will be invited to participate.

Typically, members of the panel visit one or more polling places on Election Day and then visit the central ballot counting center located in the Registrar of Voters Office, 325 N. Forbes St. in Lakeport, to observe the tabulation of ballots on election night.

Panel members are also invited to observe the processing of vote-by-mail ballots at the Registrar of Voters Office.

Members of the panel will be provided with the information they need to participate in these activities.

Anyone interested in serving on the election observer panel should contact the Registrar of Voters Office by phone, email, or in person.
