What: The Santa Monica City Clerk and LA County Clerk will host a National Voter Registration Day 2017 event at City Hall and introduce the County’s new voting system.

When: 11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m., Ken Genser Square
            Demonstration of new voting system and voter registration drive

Why: Every year, citizens find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, they do not update their registration, or are unsure of how to register.  National Voter Registration Day seeks to help eligible voters across the country exercise their most basic right – the right to vote. Santa Monica community members can register at City Hall, all Santa Monica branch libraries, and online at smvote.org (registration status check available).  The community is also invited to watch a demonstration of the County’s new voting system and a presentation to the City Council on the new voter experience.
