Intersection Near Canter’s Named For Volunteer Voter Registrar

(Los Angeles, CA) — An intersection at L.A.’s Fairfax District is being dedicated in honor of a record-setting volunteer voter registrar. The Sylvia Levin Democracy Square is located at Fairfax and Rosewood avenues near Canter’s Delicatessen in west Los Angeles. Between 1973 until her death at the age of 92 in 2009 — Levin registered over 47-thousand voters in the city, the county, the state of California and the entire nation. She was recognized by the Secretary of State’s office, the county Registrar-Recorded County Clerk’s Office, the U.S. House of Representatives and the L.A. City Council for setting registration records. Levin often set up registration tables in several locations in greater L.A. including the Westwood Federal Building, in front of Canter’s Deli and in Century City.
