AB 432: Voting Rights of New Citizens

Under Elections Code section 3500, a California resident who becomes a United States citizen in the last 15 days before an election may register and vote at the county elections office at any time beginning on the 14th day before an election and ending on the 7th day prior to election day. AB 432, introduced by Assembly Member Oropeza, would allow a new citizen to register and vote at another location established by the county elections official, and it would extend the period to register and vote until 8 p.m. on Election Day.
