Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk

What Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk does

The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (LA County RR/CC) is a county government department under the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors that consolidates three statutory functions: Registrar of Voters (election administration and voter registration), Recorder (vital records and property document recording), and County Clerk (marriage licenses, fictitious business names, notary registrations, domestic partnerships, and professional registrations). Led by Dean C. Logan, the agency serves Los Angeles County — the most populous county in the United States — providing essential records management and election services to residents, businesses, developers, legal professionals, and political candidates. The agency operates lavote.gov as its primary digital platform, supplemented by locator.lavote.net (vote center locator), MyTime (online appointment scheduling), an online CEQA filing search system, the VSAP/VSAP Flex voting platform, and the TRACCER campaign finance reporting system. Services are available in 15+ languages, and the agency is currently hiring temporary staff for the November 3, 2026 General Election.\n\nThe agency's underlying technology is a portfolio of integrated web applications and back-office systems supporting voter registration, election administration, campaign finance disclosure, candidate filing, vital records issuance, and property document recording. Notable proprietary components include VSAP (Voting Solutions for All People), an in-house voting technology program, and TRACCER, an electronic campaign finance disclosure system. The agency operates a countywide physical distribution network of branch offices, temporary vote centers, mobile vote centers, and 24/7 ballot drop boxes, with service access also available by mail and online. It maintains formal community advisory bodies including the Community & Voter Outreach Committee, Language Accessibility Advisory Committee, and Voting Accessibility Advisory Committee.\n\nThe agency's revenue model is hybrid: it is principally funded through Los Angeles County tax appropriations as a government department, supplemented by transaction-based fees for specific statutory services. Documented fee schedules include CEQA environmental filings ($25.00 to $4,252.50 depending on filing type), vital records requests, property document recording (with documentary transfer taxes tied to property value), marriage licenses and ceremonies, notary public oath/bond filings, fictitious business name filings, and authorized voter registration data products. Most core voter-facing services (voter registration, vote center access, ballot drop-off) are free to the public. As a government entity, the RR/CC is not a commercial enterprise and does not have shareholders, venture funding, or traditional ownership structures.
