Bill > SB1420

This bill requires the Secretary of State to create and post regulations on its website detailing procedures for county elections officials to educate the public about vote-by-mail and early voting options, including how voters can cast their mail-in ballots early at election offices or satellite locations up to 29 days before an election, and how to vote their mail-in ballot in person without the identification envelope at various locations. Additionally, for statewide elections, it mandates that counties not conducting all-mailed ballot elections must provide at least one early voting location open for a minimum of six hours on the Saturday before election day. The bill also mandates that the Secretary of State include information about these vote-by-mail and early voting procedures in the state voter information guide, which is a publication sent to voters containing information about state measures and elections. This bill is declared an urgency statute, meaning it takes effect immediately, to ensure these voter education initiatives and guide updates can be implemented before the next statewide general election.
