AI Summary
This bill standardizes ballot language across multiple sections of California law, primarily focusing on how ballot propositions are presented to voters. Specifically, the bill requires that for various local government, special district, and bond election ballots, the words "Yes" and "No" must be printed on separate lines with voting targets located to the right of or below the description of the proposal being voted on. This means that for elections involving school districts, county reorganizations, water districts, utility districts, and other local government entities, ballots will now have a consistent format where voters can clearly see their voting options. The bill amends numerous sections of the Education Code, Government Code, Health and Safety Code, Public Resources Code, Public Utilities Code, Streets and Highways Code, and Water Code to ensure uniformity in ballot design. By standardizing ballot layout, the bill aims to make voting easier and more straightforward for voters by creating a predictable and clear ballot structure across different types of local elections.
