Mail ballot elections: vacancies: congressional or legislative offices.
Summary
Existing law, until January 1, 2021, authorizes a county, as a pilot program, to conduct an all-mailed ballot special election or special consolidated election to fill a vacancy in a congressional or legislative office. If a county conducts an all-mailed ballot election pursuant to this pilot program, existing law requires the county to report to the Legislature and the Secretary of State regarding the success of the election, and requires the report to be posted on the internet website of the county elections official. This bill would require the report to also be posted on the internet website of the Secretary of State.
