In response to your two emails today...
The position regarding the City's request for election services that I have expressed in prior correspondence continues to be the current position of the County. The Registrar of Voters cannot provide the City with confidential voter registration information today, which includes signature images, language preference, accessible ballot requests, and information about any confidential voters residing within Newport Beach.
I have separately confirmed that none of the confidential voters eligible to vote in Newport Beach are signed up for the UOCAVA military and overseas voting program.
Finally, if the City decides to hold an election either (1) timely consolidated with a statewide election, or (2) held as a court-ordered stand-alone special election on a date at least 88 days after the court order when it would not interfere with our administration of the November 3 General Election, then we would be able to reconsider the City’s request.
Thank you.

Attention: This email originated from outside the County of Orange. Use caution when opening attachments or links.
Good afternoon,
Today, we discovered that the voter information we received from the your office does not have confidential voter information, which makes it impossible for us to determine if any confidential voters are military or overseas. Without telling us any of the names of the confidential voters, can you confirm if any of the confidential voters are military or overseas?
I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Lena Shumway
