Voter registration: paid registration activities.

Existing law authorizes any person, company, or other organization that complies with specified conditions to agree to pay money or other valuable consideration, on a per-affidavit basis or otherwise, to any person who assists another person to register to vote by receiving the completed affidavit of registration. This bill would prohibit any person, company, or other organization from agreeing to pay money or other valuable consideration on a per-affidavit basis to any person who assists another person to register to vote by receiving the completed affidavit of registration, would prohibit the receipt of this per-affidavit consideration, and would make conforming changes. Existing law requires an elections official to notify the payor of a person who assists others to register to vote if 3 or more affidavits submitted by the person assisting do not comply with specified provisions. This bill would provide that this notification is required when 3 or more affidavits submitted by the person assisting each reflects a violation of one or more of those provisions.
