Errata 1:	 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 2:	There are discrepancies in totals in the rg, rr and sr precinct files for three counties
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
047 - Merced rg file has 6 more poll voters than the rr and sr files     
087 - Santa Cruz rg file has 4 more poll voters than the rr and sr files
107 - Tulare rg file has 10 more poll voters than the rr and sr files
