Now I am really concerned

[rumpel]

You may recall at the Los Angels County registar's headquarters office we were told to fill out another form.

look what I found! Legal minds please interpret, and tell me it does not say what I think it does!

§20108.60. Duplicate Registration Records. (a) Beginning January 1, 2006, the Secretary of State shall conduct weekly checks within the Calvoter statewide registration list to identify potential duplicate registrations for the same voter within that list, based on established rotating criteria. Upon identification of potential duplicate registration records, the Secretary of State shall automatically send an electronic notice to the county with the record that has the oldest date of registration.
(b) Within five (5) business days of receipt of a notice of potential duplicate registration the elections official shall take all necessary steps to determine whether or not the registration record is a duplicate of an existing newer registration, and if a duplicate registration is confirmed, shall cancel the older duplicate registration and submit a registration update file or full load file to Calvoter in accordance with Section 20108.15 and Section 20108.40.
Note: Authority cited: Section 12172.5, Government Code; Section 2124, Elections Code.
Reference: Section 14310, Elections Code; Section 303, Pub. L. No. 107-252 (2002) 116 Stat. 1666, 42 U.S.C. § 15483.

which means we cancelled her eligibility to vote tomorrow?

1. Only the older duplicate will be canceled

And the new registration will be on record.

Don't sweat it! :)

2. problem is she is not in the database yet.

She mailed in the voter registration more than 3 weeks ago and they still do not have her in the database.

The County as of Friday, last week told me that they are still inputting data (thousands) and expect to continue through the 7th!

So while they are tallying the results - they may not have input all registrations into the database - and when they are reviewing her status as a provisional ballot voter by law, does it not mean her original registration has to be cancelled?

3. The original must be canceled only in the event

that it is a duplicate of the newer.

If there is no older registration, then there is no duplicate.

If the older registration has not yet been input, then the newer registration will be entered. If, at some latter time, the older is found and there is an attempt to add the data, the dupe will be noted, and the registration with the oldest date will be canceled.

Either way, there is no trouble unless there is no record of registration at all, which is why it is imperative to re-register.

5. question is, since they are still inputting thousands of data

as we speak - the mailed in registration will be cancelled out by the on site registration which was stamped on the spot, Friday - but will not let her vote in this election - only future elections? Should the mail-in registration still be in the process of being entered into the database. She just turned 18.

The actual registration was made on the SOS website - so the registration came pre-printed with her information, requiring only additional sections including signature.
So the SOS must have her request in the database.
The county has not verfied or placed her in the database. Why out of all mailings does it take the USPS over 3 weeks to make it to the County registrar. It is there - unless something weird is going on.

4. I will have her vote anyway!

deal with it on an ongoing basis.

I hope everyone else will, too. - vote! even if it's provisional and follow up - follow your ballot where ever it goes!
