[GPSCC-chat] list of registered voters

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       With Jim's help I just requested an updated list of registered 
voters in Santa Clara County.  In so doing, I learned that the rules 
have changed.  The new rules are as follows:


       * We can get one pro bono list per "partisan" election.  With the 
"Top Two" primary, the only "partisan" election is presidential.  
However, in spite of the fact that there are no "partisan" elections in 
Santa Clara County this year, our Registrar of Voters is still providing 
one pro bono list for each qualifying political party.  In 2016, if the 
California legislature doesn't change the rules before then, we will be 
able to get two free lists:  One for the primary and another for the 
general.


       * However, if we want to buy a list, we can get that for $82 
(under current law);  previously it was $500.  If we want all the 
history, it's an additional $20.  I paid $20 to get all the history, in 
case we want it for something.


       * In a few days, I should receive an email with an ftp address 
from which I should be able to download the data requested.

       See you tomorrow evening.
