Los Angeles County officials say the names of more than 118,000 voters were omitted from voter lists because of a printing error, but residents can still cast their ballots.

The county's registrar-recorder's office says registered voters can cast provisional ballots in Tuesday's primary election.

They say the issue involves a total of 118,522 voters in Los Angeles County.

Officials say they are still working to identify what caused some names to not be included on printed lists of voters.

They say poll workers have been instructed to offer provisional ballots to every voter whose name doesn't appear on the poll site's roster.

The county says votes cast on provisional ballots will be counted once the voter's registration is confirmed.
