The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a DMV investigation Tuesday over concerns of “errors” in their voter registration program.

The board unanimously approved a motion by Supervisor Kathryn Barger calling for an investigation into voter registration errors as a result of the new “motor voter” program managed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

Created by the Motor Voter Act of 2015 and implemented in April 2018, the program automatically registers any eligible voters who apply for a driver’s license or identification card and transmits this data to the county where that person lives unless the individual specifically declines to participate.

The state reported that 23,000 instances of voter registration errors occurred between mid-April and early August.

The “motor voter” program has experienced other implementation issues as well, with 77,000 voter records allegedly being misreported in May by the DMV, according to officials.

“We have heard from concerned voters in Los Angeles County about issues with the system, and this investigation will help us better understand the scope of the problem and give us a corrective action plan to improve voter confidence,” said Barger.

The report is scheduled to include recommendations on what steps the county can take to notify and assist voters who were impacted, as well as how the county can work with the state to help correct the errors and address the root cause of the problem, according to officials.

The report will also include procedures that can be implemented at the county level to proactively identify and correct such errors in the future, and expanded outreach measures that can begin to restore public trust in the electoral process, according to Barger.

The motion includes a request for the report to be sent back to the LA County Board of Supervisors in two weeks, and a five-signature letter to the governor and the secretary of state in support of the state’s audit of the DMV.
