Elections: Voter Bill of Rights.
- Expands the Voter Bill of Rights to guarantee replacement ballots for damaged or missing ballots.
- Requires election officials to provide replacement ballots before polls close if voters lack or damage their ballot.
- Mandates a toll-free number for reporting voting rights violations or election misconduct.
- Requires the Voter Bill of Rights to be printed in voter guides and displayed at all precincts.
Assembly Member Ransom's proposal to modify California's Voter Bill of Rights expands the circumstances under which voters can obtain replacement ballots at polling places. The measure adds two specific conditions to the existing replacement ballot provisions: when voters do not have their ballot or when their ballot has been damaged.
The legislation requires these additional rights to be included in both the state voter information guide and precinct materials. Under the measure, the Secretary of State maintains authority to develop implementing regulations and revise the Voter Bill of Rights language to ensure clarity and accessibility. The bill preserves existing requirements for a toll-free telephone number where voters can report rights violations or election misconduct, and maintains current provisions for multilingual materials and assistance at polling places.
