Bill > AB626

This bill would authorize a voter to return their vote-by-mail ballot in person at their designated polling place or a vote center, without the required identification envelope, as long as certain conditions are met. This includes the elections office verifying the voter has not already returned a vote-by-mail ballot and updating their status to an in-person voter. The bill would also require the county to establish procedures to ensure a voter does not submit more than one vote-by-mail ballot without an envelope. Any ballots cast in this manner would be processed and counted like a regular in-person ballot. Additionally, the bill would require the state to reimburse local agencies for any state-mandated costs associated with implementing these new provisions.
