AB 1040: Elections: residency: displacement by natural disaster.
What AB 1040 does, verified February 3, 2026
<p>This bill aims to amend the elections code to clarify the concept of "residence" for voting purposes. Currently, a person's residence is defined as their domicile, which is the place where they intend to remain and return to when absent. The bill would expand this definition to include individuals who temporarily leave their home due to a natural disaster, as long as they intend to return to their original home or another address within the same jurisdiction.</p>
