Resources for County Elections Officials

The Secretary of State provides National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) training materials for county elections officials. This training includes information related to Senate Bill 35, which codified many best practices across California. Elections officials use these materials to train other county officials that provide public assistance and/or serve people with disabilities.
