| Assembly Bill | No. 1403 |
| Introduced by Assembly Member Obernolte |
February 17, 2017 |
An act to amend Section 3108 of the Elections Code, relating to elections.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1403, as amended, Obernolte.
Military and overseas voters.
Existing law authorizes a military or overseas voter to apply in person to the elections official for permission to register if he or she is released from services after the closing date of registration for an election, has returned to the county of his or her residence, and is not a registered voter, as specified.
This bill would additionally allow a military or overseas voter who is required to move under official active duty military orders after the closing date of registration to apply in person to his or her elections official for permission to register after the closing date of registration, as specified. By imposing additional duties on local elections officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 3108 of the Elections Code proposed by SB 286 to be operative only if this bill and SB 286 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
