Professional statute overview
Enactment structure, operative effect and source provenance
The Office of Elections Cybersecurity is created and must coordinate election cybersecurity work, develop best practices, share threat information, and help counter false or misleading election-related information. If a voter cannot personally enter the information required by Section 100, the voter may ask someone else to print the voter’s name and residence, but the voter must personally make a mark or sign, and that mark or signature must be witnessed by one person who signs their name. A person may vote in a local, special, or consolidated election if registered in one of the precincts that make up those election precincts and if voting is in accordance with this code. Statewide special elections must be called, conducted, and canvassed under the same rules as general elections, unless another law specifically says otherwise. A city or district may ask the county board of supervisors to let the county elections official provide election services, and the request must be by resolution.
