3. Deva Marie Proto, Sonoma County Chief Deputy Clerk-Recorder, talks about the procedures at the Registrar of Voters office around Election Day November 3 in counting the votes. She urges the early mailing of the mail-in ballots in order to be counted for the election night tally, but also stressed that the legal count totals occur upon certification 30 days later, which include all the ballots cast, including the mail-in ballots not received until the day of election.
About our Guest: Deva Marie Proto is the newly elected Sonoma County Clerk-Recorder-Assessor-Registrar of Voters. She is currently the Chief Deputy Clerk-Recorder and will take office on January 8, 2019. Deva has been with the County for over 11 years, and grew up in Sonoma County. While she has been with the Clerk-Recorder’s Office, she has overseen a number of projects to increase efficiency and customer access. That includes implementing a new Clerk-Recording system that cut back on errors and data duplication, and a new website that allows people to purchase recorded documents online instead of coming into the office. The website also includes a full Spanish translation. She is currently working on expanding the records available online, and testing a system to allow people to file Fictitious Business Name Statements online.
