Overview
This bill changes how California counties encourage voter registration. Currently, counties must have programs to identify and register eligible voters. This bill shifts the requirement to counties that don’t use all-mailed ballot elections, requiring them to create and implement a voter education and outreach plan. These plans must provide information on various voting options and procedures, and county officials must submit updates to the Secretary of State for public access.
Key provisions
- Counties without all-mailed ballot elections must develop voter education and outreach plans.
- Plans must include information on online registration, preregistration, vote by mail, ballot tracking, and options for military/overseas voters.
- The Secretary of State will provide a template for these plans.
- County elections officials must submit plan amendments to the Secretary of State.
- The Secretary of State’s plans will be publicly available on the state website.
- County elections officials must also make their plans available on their county websites.
- Plans must be submitted by October 1 of odd-numbered years.
