Bill > SB183

This bill amends several sections of the Elections Code to clarify rules regarding ballots and voter identification. Specifically, it modifies the instructions provided to voters on ballots to ensure clarity, and it revises the definition of "personal information" that a voter cannot place on a ballot, which includes their signature, name, address, voter identification number, social security number, or driver's license number. The bill also states that ballots containing such personal information, or that are soiled or defaced, will not be considered invalid, and it outlines procedures for handling ballots with personal information by creating a duplicate ballot. This aims to prevent voters from inadvertently invalidating their ballots due to minor errors or the inclusion of identifying marks.
