Voter registration: residency confirmation.

Assembly Member Berman's proposal to repeal Section 2226 of California's Elections Code addresses voter registration procedures related to address changes and residency confirmation. The legislation targets provisions that currently require county elections officials to update voter records when residents move within California and change registration status to inactive when mailings are undeliverable or voters relocate out of state.

The bill's legislative digest characterizes these requirements as obsolete, suggesting they may duplicate other sections of election law or no longer align with current voter registration practices. The repeal would eliminate specific mandates for county elections officials regarding the processing of address changes and undeliverable election materials.

This measure requires a majority vote for passage and involves no new appropriations or fiscal impacts. County elections officials would no longer operate under the specific procedures outlined in Section 2226 for maintaining voter rolls based on residency changes, though other sections of election law may provide alternative frameworks for voter list maintenance.
