Summary

Existing law allows a local, special, or consolidated election to be conducted wholly by mail if specified conditions are satisfied, including that the governing body of the local agency authorizes the use of mailed ballots for the election. Existing law establishes certain procedures for the conduct of all-mail ballot elections. This bill would, in addition, allow a special general or primary election called to fill a vacancy in an office of Representative in Congress, State Senate, or Member of the Assembly to be conducted wholly by mail if certain conditions are satisfied, including that the board of supervisors of each participating county authorizes the all-mail ballot election. The bill would revise and recast the procedures applicable to elections conducted wholly by mail, including procedures relating to notifying voters of information relating to the election, the distribution of election materials, and the establishment of locations for the return of ballots.
