Elections.

(1) Existing law contains various election-related forms, some of which contain obsolete date blocks that begin with "19__". This bill would update the date block of these forms to "20__". (2) Existing law requires a county elections official, upon receipt of a properly executed affidavit of registration or address correction notice or letter for a voter, to send the voter a voter notification, address correction requested. Existing law specifies a form of voter notification that county elections officials are required to use that includes a voter signature line. This bill would remove the voter signature line from the voter notification. (3) Existing law specifies procedures for collecting signatures on a petition for an initiative, referendum, or recall, and for filing the petition and signatures with elections officials. Existing law requires elections officials for local recall and municipal initiative measure petitions to determine, prima facie, the total number of signatures affixed to the petition to determine whether or not the petition is accepted for filing. Existing law requires that recall and municipal initiative measure petitions not accepted for filing be returned to the proponents. This bill would repeal this requirement to return the petitions to the proponents and instead require that further action not be taken. (4) Existing law authorizes a local, special, or consolidated election to be conducted wholly by mail if specified conditions are satisfied. Existing law establishes specified dates in March, May, and August for conducting an all-mailed ballot election. This bill would delete the date in March from the established dates for conducting an all-mailed ballot election.
