Election Administration Plan for Yolo County
In order to adopt the Voter's Choice Act, counties must adopt an Election Administration Plan for public review and for submission to the California Secretary of State.
The Yolo County Elections Office's Election Administration (EAP) was approved by the California Secretary of State on March 7, 2022.
