Bill > AB1072

This bill requires the California Secretary of State, who serves as the state's chief elections officer, to develop uniform standards and guidelines in collaboration with county elections officials that would allow voters to correct mistakes they have made on their ballots. The bill empowers the Secretary of State to create and adopt regulations that ensure these standards are applied consistently across all counties in California. By establishing these guidelines, the bill aims to provide a standardized process for voters to address and rectify errors on their ballots, potentially reducing the likelihood of ballots being invalidated due to minor mistakes. This approach seeks to enhance voter accessibility and ensure that voters have a clear, predictable method for correcting ballot errors, which could help protect voters' rights and increase overall participation in the electoral process.
