Errata 1:	 The Yolo and Sierra County precinct geography was updated to correct for rg precincts records that were not consolidated into their corresponding sr precinct. The errors effected records for 19 precincts in Yolo county and 1 precinct in Sierra county. New versions of the Sierra and Yolo county data and geographic files that corrected for this error were released on October 21st, 2016. 

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.
