This will be the first primary in which the California Voter’s Choice Act changes the way registered voters in 15 counties — Los Angeles included — cast their ballots. What is the Voter’s Choice Act and will it affect me? In 2016, California lawmakers created the Voter’s Choice Act to revamp its voting system, with the goal of providing voters more flexibility on when and how they cast ballots. (Voters in the other 14 Voter’s Choice Act counties do not need to request a mail-in ballot and will receive one automatically. Voters who do not live in a Voter’s Choice county must request a mail-in ballot.)
