RE:

General Election: CalVoter and VoteCal Election Reporting Schedule

Attached is a CalVoter and VoteCal Election Reporting Schedule for your use during the November 8, 2016, General Election to assist with CalVoter file management and the use of VoteCal during this election. Counties should continue to submit regular Registrant Load/Update files according to California Administrative Code Title 2, Division 7, Chapter 2, Section 20108.40 until such time that VoteCal is declared the system of record for voter registration. Counties whose voter registration system will not support the UPDATE file type may submit full LOAD files. If you have any questions about this or any other VoteCal matters, please contact the VoteCal Help Desk at (888) 868-3225 or email at [email protected]. Thank you.
