Summary

Existing law requires a vote by mail voter to return his or her voted vote by mail ballot (1) by mail or in person to the elections official, (2) in person to a member of a precinct board at a polling place or vote center, or (3) to a vote by mail ballot dropoff location, as specified. Existing law permits a vote by mail voter who is unable to return his or her ballot to designate another person to return the ballot. This bill would require the designated person to offer to give a receipt to the voter when the designated person receives the ballot, and to provide a receipt to the voter upon request. The bill would require the Secretary of State to prescribe a form for that receipt, and would specify the information to be included on the receipt.
