   An act to amend Section 14311 of the Elections Code, relating to
elections.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1689, Levine.  Elections:  voter registration.
   Existing law provides that a voter who has moved within the same
county, but has not reregistered to vote at the new address, may vote
on the day of the election at the polling place of the current
address, upon showing proof of the current address.
   This bill would delete the requirement that the voter must show
proof of the current address and would delete the corresponding
requirement that the Secretary of State adopt regulations regarding
that provision.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 14311 of the Elections Code is amended to read:

   14311.  (a) A voter who has moved from one address to another
within the same county and who has not reregistered to vote at that
new address may, at his or her option, vote on the day of the
election at the polling place at which he or she is entitled to vote
based on his or her current residence address, or at the office of
the county elections official or other central location designated by
that elections official.  The voter shall be reregistered at the
place of voting for future elections.
   (b) Voters casting ballots under this section shall be required to
vote by provisional ballot, as provided in Section 14310.
