No matter how we vote, every voter deserves to trust that their voice will be heard. We're proud to announce A Count You Can Trust, an independent, nonpartisan coalition working to strengthen public trust in Los Angeles County’s elections. Read more: lat.ms/4yOJM0T

A voting booth with an American flag design is prominently displayed in the foreground. In the background, people are in a room that appears to be a polling station. The headline from the Los Angeles Times reads, "It's on all of us to protect trust in our elections," with Antonio Villaraigosa and Miguel A. Santana named as contributors.

Los Angeles Times article titled "A Count You Can Trust" discusses a nonpartisan coalition aiming to enhance trust in the election process. The coalition, backed by civic, faith, labor, media, business, and community groups, focuses on transparency in Los Angeles County elections, combating misinformation, and explaining vote counting. The piece emphasizes the importance of trust and informed participation in democracy and encourages all eligible voters to participate.
