Overview
This bill updates California’s voter registration system to ensure consistency between jury service eligibility and voting eligibility. Specifically, it requires jury commissioners to notify the Secretary of State and county elections officials when a prospective juror provides information indicating they are ineligible for jury service due to not being a U.S. citizen or residing in the correct county. If an elections official determines ineligibility, the voter registration will be inactivated, and the voter will be given a chance to confirm their eligibility. The bill also addresses situations where a registered voter’s address differs from their jury summons location.
Key provisions
- Jury commissioners must notify elections officials of juror affidavits indicating ineligibility for jury service due to citizenship or residency.
- Elections officials must inactivate voter registrations and provide voters with an opportunity to confirm eligibility if deemed ineligible.
- Elections officials must update voter registrations if a juror’s current address differs from their jury summons location.
- The bill requires the Commission on State Mandates to determine if the bill creates state-mandated costs and, if so, to reimburse local agencies.
