Latest Text Digest

(1) Existing law requires specified notices, affidavits, and communications regarding elections to be delivered by registered mail.

This bill would instead require delivery by certified mail or, for certain communications between local officials and the Secretary of State, by electronic delivery. By imposing new duties on local officials with respect to elections, this bill would create a state-mandated local program.

(2) Existing law provides procedures for the recall of enumerated elective officers, including, among others, trial court judges.

This bill would replace references to trial courts in these provisions with references to superior courts.

(3) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 15621 of the Elections Code proposed by Assembly Bill 930 to be operative only if this bill and Assembly Bill 930 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
