Bill > SB348

This bill amends existing election laws to allow vote-by-mail ballots to be counted even if they arrive after Election Day, provided they are postmarked on or before Election Day and received by the local elections official within six days after Election Day. This change applies to vote-by-mail ballots cast under two different sections of the Elections Code, which govern general vote-by-mail procedures and ballots cast under a specific chapter, respectively. The bill also includes a standard provision for state reimbursement if it's determined to impose costs on local agencies and school districts.
