Voter education and outreach plans.
- Requires counties to create voter education plans to boost registration and electoral participation.
- Mandates that county plans include information about voting methods, accessibility options, and key deadlines.
- Counties must submit plan updates every two years and publish current versions on their websites.
- The Secretary of State will provide plan templates and host all county plans online.
Assembly Member Sharp-Collins' voter education legislation replaces California's existing county voter registration requirements with a new framework requiring counties that do not conduct all-mail elections to implement comprehensive voter education and outreach plans.
Under the new provisions, county election officials must develop plans that provide information about online voter registration, preregistration opportunities, vote-by-mail procedures, ballot tracking, military and overseas voting options, accessibility accommodations, in-person voting locations, language services, and key election deadlines. The Secretary of State will provide counties with plan templates and maintain current versions of all county plans on the state elections website, while counties must post their plans on their own websites and submit updates by October 1 of odd-numbered years.
The measure shifts away from the current system where the Secretary of State adopts and enforces minimum requirements for county voter registration programs. Instead, it establishes specific content requirements for voter education plans while removing provisions that allow the Secretary of State to design programs for non-compliant counties or report violations to the Attorney General. As a state-mandated local program, counties may receive reimbursement for costs associated with developing and implementing these new voter education requirements.
