AB 1492 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Elections: vote by mail voters.

Summary

Existing law defines a vote by mail voter as a voter who casts a ballot in any way other than at a polling place and defines a military or overseas voter as an elector who is absent from the county in which the voter is otherwise eligible to vote because the person is a member of the military or a specified federal government agency, a spouse or dependent of such a person, or a citizen living outside of the territorial limits of the United States. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
