Los Angeles County officials are in the midst of reimagining how the county's electorate will vote.
After several years' work on a new voting system and a recent presentation at Southwest by Southwest Eco, officials will soon lock down design details with the aim of rolling the system out fully in 2020. A pilot program is scheduled for 2018.
Under the new system as it's currently envisioned, voters would be able to mark their choices using touch-screen devices, submit ballot selections via smartphones and vote on one of several days at various locations.
Voters would also have options like customizing their ballot's font size and choosing a ballot from several languages. The new voting system will still create a ballot paper trail as required by state law.
