This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Under existing law, a voter in a vote by mail election may request and receive from the elections official a 2nd ballot if the voter provides a statement under penalty of perjury that he or she has failed to receive, lost, or destroyed the original ballot. The elections official is required to verify that the voter who receives a duplicate ballot has not attempted to vote twice. Under existing law, ballots of a voter who attempts to vote more than once in the same election are void. This bill would remove the requirement that a voter who requests a replacement ballot provide a statement under penalty of perjury that he or she has failed to receive, lost, or destroyed the original ballot, would require the elections official to verify prior to issuing a replacement ballot that the voter has not already cast a ballot in the same election, and would prohibit the processing and tallying of more than one ballot from a voter in the same election.
