Bill overview
This bill clarifies California’s rules about residency for voting purposes, specifically addressing situations where people are displaced due to natural disasters. It ensures that individuals temporarily leaving their homes due to a disaster and intending to return to the same area or another address within the same jurisdiction will not lose their established domicile. This change aims to prevent disruptions to voting rights for Californians affected by natural disasters. The bill modifies the Elections Code to explicitly include this provision.
