Summary

(1) Existing law requires the Controller to allocate and disburse to counties, from moneys appropriated by the Legislature, amounts necessary to reimburse the counties for costs incurred in complying with voter registration provisions, as specified. Under existing law, counties are required to submit to the Controller claims for those amounts by October 31 in the year following the fiscal year in which the costs were incurred. This bill would instead require counties to submit the claims to the Controller by February 15 in the year following the fiscal year in which the costs were incurred. (2) Existing law requires a precinct board to post, outside of each precinct and polling place, the results of the vote cast at that precinct or polling place for at least 48 hours after the polls are closed. This bill would exempt from this requirement precincts or polling places where 10 or fewer voters cast their ballots on a machine that keeps vote tallies and would instead require that the precinct board post only the total number of voters at that precinct or polling place.
