Errata 1:	

Counties that conducted "all Vote-by-Mail elections" and do not have poll voters data. 

003 - Alpine does not have poll voters. It is an all forced VBM county
091 - Sierra does not have poll voters. It is an all forced VBM county

Errata 2:	

March 2014 we were made aware that the age groups in the Statewide Database registration datasets are using incorrect labels.

The age groups were labeled 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64 and 65 Plus when they should be labeled 18-23, 24-33, 34-43, 44-53, 54-63 and 64 Plus.  

Please note that county files containing age group data released before October 15th, 2014 and statewide files realased before Mon, 22 Dec 2014 will contain age categories that break at -23 years instead of 24 years.

Errata 3:

001 - Alameda rg file has 1 more poll voter than the rr and sr files
037 - Los Angeles rg file has 216 more poll voters than the rr and sr files
