Los Angeles County officials have organized a special event on Tuesday, National Voter Registration Day, targeting eligible inmates inside a downtown jail. It’s part of a government-ordered effort “to register as many justice-involved County residents as possible in advance of the November 2018 election.”
County agencies leading a “voter engagement task force” have been working with the ACLU, anti-incarceration groups, and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, which operates seven custody centers that make up the nation’s largest jail system. The campaign, called “L.A. Free the Vote,” was created “to strategize and guide voter registration efforts for justice-involved residents.”
