Bill > SB621

This bill repeals Section 3108 of the California Elections Code, which previously provided a specific registration pathway for military and overseas voters who were released from service or required to move after the standard voter registration closing date. The bill eliminates this standalone provision because military and overseas voters are now covered under the general conditional voter registration process. Under current law, individuals can register to vote up to 14 days before an election or on election day using a conditional registration method, which allows them to cast either a provisional or regular ballot. By removing the specific military and overseas voter provision, the bill simplifies the voter registration process by treating these voters the same as other voters who use the conditional registration process, without creating a separate set of rules for military personnel and citizens living abroad.
