AB 158: Shortening Voter Registration Deadlines

Assembly Member Bermudez has introducted AB 158, which would shorten a number of voter registration deadlines. For example, under existing law, the county elections officials must accept affidavits of registration at all times except during the 14 days immediately preceding any election. AB 158 would shorten this 14-day period to seven days.

Similarly, under existing law, a registered California voter who moves within the county within 14 days before an election is entitled to vote in that election in the precinct from which the person moved. Assembly Member Bermudez's bill would change that period to 7 days.
