    Key Takeaways

    • Streamlines voter registration by removing redundant provisions for military and overseas voters.
    • Maintains voter protections through the existing conditional voter registration process.
    • Takes effect upon enactment on August 28, 2025.

    Summary

    Senator Grove's legislation streamlines California's military and overseas voter registration process by removing an obsolete provision in the Elections Code. The measure eliminates a special registration allowance that permitted service members to register after standard deadlines when released from duty or relocated under military orders.

    The repeal reflects the incorporation of military and overseas voters into California's broader conditional voter registration system, which already enables eligible citizens to register and vote within 14 days of an election, including Election Day. Under this existing framework, service members maintain their ability to participate in elections through conditional registration, making the separate provision unnecessary.
