AB 1020, as introduced, Ridley-Thomas. Elections: voter registration.
Existing law sets forth the procedures for registering to vote and processing voter registration. Existing law requires, if a voter reregisters or transfers his or her registration from one precinct to another, that the former address be entered in the prior registration portion of the affidavit and the former registration be canceled, except as specified.
This bill would instead require that the former address be maintained with the voter record and the registration be updated.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
