The Outreach And Education Conducted By The Alameda County Registrar Of Voters On
Behalf Of The City Of Oakland For The November 2010 Municipal Election
10-0283
A motion was made by Member Schaaf, seconded by Member Reid, that
this matter be *Received and Forwarded to the Concurrent Meeting of the
Oakland Redevelopment Agency / City Council. The motion carried by the
following vote:
Votes: Aye; 4 - Member Schaaf, Vice Mayor Brooks, Member Reid and President Pro
Tempore De La Fuente
The Committee received and filed the report and directed staff schedule through
Rules, a follow up report that responds to the following questions:
- To the City Administrator
1. How did you gauge the results of the City's outreach & education campaign -
do you have data that shows precincts that received the additional outreach &
education made less mistakes than those that didn't receive the additional
outreach & education?
2. In two years, voters will go to the polls again, including many new voters -
people who have moved to Oakland from communities that use traditional
voting methods, young people that will be 18 or first time voters in that election,
etc. Should the City's outreach & education effort be expanded, stay the same or
reduced? Why?
3. The City's supplemental outreach & education was to be directed specifically
to historically disenfranchised and underrepresented populations in a culturally
competent manner, have you reviewed or received from the County an analysis
of which neighborhoods did well ""filling out their ballots properly"" vs.
neighborhood that didn't (based on percentage of overvotes)? Why did this
occur?
4. When will we have the ""comprehensive report"" as required and described by
our City Charter? From Charter section 1105 (3) The ""comprehensive report""
for a race shall mean a report that breaks the numbers in the summary report
down by precinct. The report shall list for each round the number of ballots cast
in each precinct (a) that count as votes for each candidate in that round, (b)
that have been declared undervotes, (c) that have been declared overvotes up to
that point, and (d) that have been declared exhausted up to that point.

Meeting Minutes
February 3, 2011
1. How many of the 150 presentations made in Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro
were in Oakland? And where were those trainings held (is there a list?)
2. In March, the Council was provided with a list of ""Ranked Choice Voting
Education and Outreach Contact List"" which was produced by the county, can
you tell us how many of those groups actually received a presentation?
3. How many total Oakland residents participated in the trainings?
4. How many non-English speakers participated in the trainings?
5. How many of the 750,000 informational brochures that were produced were
distributed in Oakland?
6. Do you know how many people actually watched the flash media
presentation that you produced?
7. Can you provide more detailed information regarding the public service
announcements such as how many times they ran on the stations and at what
times?
8. Your report indicates that the Registrar of Voters' analysis found that in
Oakland's mayor's race 99.7 percent of voters cast valid ballots, what does this
mean? How do you define a ""valid ballot?
9. is there a difference between a ""valid ballot"" and an ""exhausted ballot"" if so
what percentage of ballots were ""exhausted?""
10. If I cast a ballot that had Quan as my first pick, and 4 other people as my
second pick, and 3 people as my third pick, does the RCV consider this a valid
ballot? Considering the example just stated, would you say that voter marked
the ballot properly?
The committee further directed staff to consider a citywide survey to measure
citizen opinion of Ranked Choice Voting, i.e. if citizens understood the
consequences of marking a ballot, comparisons of citizen voting participation
compared to areas without education and full analysis of survey results.
