The LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office has been working on a project that transforms the way we do voting in LA County. It's called Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP). In next year's 2020 elections, they are rolling out new ballot counter equipment and a new process for voting. Instead of a single day where people must go to an assigned polling location near their home, they will be able to vote at any voting center location over an 11-day period.

On September 28-29, they will be hosting Mock Elections held at 50 locations across the County to test the new voting system. The full list of participating locations is listed on the website as a PDF file with each location's name and address.

A much more useful way to view this information is to put that data on a map so people can visually see the locations and decide which one they can visit. This mini project, initiated at our 9/11/19 South LA Civic Hack Night, takes the address data, geocodes it, and visualizes it on a webmap hosted through this repository's GitHub Page.
