Bill > AB1411

This bill requires counties that do not conduct all-mailed ballot elections to create and implement a voter education and outreach plan designed to identify and register unregistered qualified voters and encourage electoral participation. The plan must provide public information on several key topics including online voter registration, vote by mail procedures, ballot tracking services, voting options for military and overseas voters, accessibility for voters with disabilities, in-person voting opportunities, language accessibility, and important election dates and deadlines. The Secretary of State will provide a template for these plans and must make the most current version of each county's plan available on their website, while county election officials must also publish their plans on their own websites. Counties are required to submit any plan amendments to the Secretary of State by October 1 of each odd-numbered year. If the Commission on State Mandates determines that implementing these requirements creates additional costs for local agencies, the state will provide reimbursement according to existing statutory procedures. This bill effectively replaces previous regulations about voter registration programs with a more comprehensive and structured approach to voter education and outreach.
