AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to election laws, primarily focusing on the requirements for petition circulators and the administration of elections for certain water districts. Specifically, it amends sections of the Elections Code to clarify that petition circulators must personally witness all signatures on a petition section and attest to their belief that each signature is genuine, under penalty of perjury, and must provide their printed name, address, and the dates they collected signatures. It also amends sections of the Water Code to allow water districts to conduct elections entirely by mail, a process where all ballots are sent to voters' homes, and to specify that the Mendocino County Waterworks District #2 will have an elected board of directors chosen by mail-in ballots, with detailed rules for their election, terms, and filling of vacancies.
