Summary

(1) Existing law requires the county elections official, if an affidavit of registration does not contain all the information required to be submitted, but the telephone number is legible, to telephone the affiant to attempt to collect the missing information. This bill would instead require the county elections official to attempt to contact the affiant and collect the missing information if the affidavit does not contain all of the information required. The bill would also make a conforming change. (2) Existing law requires the proponents of a recall of an elected officer to submit a notice of intention, which is required to contain, among other requirements, the printed name, signature, and residence address of each of the proponents, as specified. The bill would clarify that the residence address must include the street and number, city, and ZIP Code of each of the proponents of the recall. (3) Existing law requires an elections official to divide a jurisdiction into precincts and prepare detail maps or exterior descriptions of the precincts. Existing law requires that jurisdictional boundary changes occur at least 88 days before an election for the changes to be effective for purposes of that election. The bill would increase that time period to 125 days before an election for boundary changes to be effective.
