Stockton, CA – San Joaquin County residents and members of the media are invited to observe the State mandated full Logic & Accuracy Test (L&A) of the voting system taking place on Monday, September 29, at 8:00 a.m. until completion in the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters (ROV) Office located at 44 N. San Joaquin St., Suite 350, Stockton, CA. The L&A Test will specifically examine all precinct ballots to be cast for the November 4, 2025, Special Election on Redistricting.

The full L&A test is intended to exercise all aspects of the tabulation programming. It will check the reporting functions of the system. If any errors are found with the system or the system programming during the test, they must be corrected, and the test will be performed again. Once the system has satisfactorily counted the test deck, the programming will be approved for ballot counting.

L&A observers will have the opportunity to ballot watch the full L&A test. The completed test ballots will be tabulated through the voting system and set aside so that the participants can review all reports.

Any San Joaquin County resident can be an Election Observer.

In addition to the L&A test, members of the public can observe the processing of Vote-by-Mail ballots at the ROV office which will begin October 6. They may also visit polling places on Election Day and can visit the ballot counting center to observe the tabulation of ballots on election night after 8:00 p.m. at the ROV warehouse located at 7585 S. Longe St., Suite 112, Stockton, CA. They can also observe the official canvass of the election which occurs November 5, 2025 through December 2, 2025.

To learn more about L&A Testing or becoming an Election Observer, contact Sheree Contreras at (209) 468-8683 (VOTE) or registrar@sjgov.org.
