LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 789, as introduced, Allen. Elections: voting.

Existing law allows, at a polling place, the device for marking the ballot to be handed to the voter with the voter’s ballot before the voter goes into the voting booth, and requires that the device be returned to the precinct board after the voter has finished marking the ballot.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
