*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: AB 477 would (1) allow voters who failed to sign their
vote by mail (VBM) identification envelope to sign a statement
up to eight days after the election, as specified, in order to
have their ballot counted, and (2) establish procedures for the
Green Party to participate in the presidential primary, and
authorize the Green Party to establish county councils by
election.
Fiscal
Impact:
The bill would result likely result in state
reimbursable costs to local elections officials,
potentially exceeding $50,000 (General Fund).
Costs to the Secretary of State would be minor and
absorbable.
