AB 1512: Elections: ballot language.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 6, 2025

What AB 1512 does, verified December 6, 2025

This bill amends the education, government, health and safety, public resources, public utilities, streets and highways, and water codes to revise ballot language requirements for various local government ballot measures. The revised language will generally require the words "yes" and "no" to be printed on separate lines of the ballot, with voting targets to the right of or below the description of the proposal to be voted on. This change aims to improve clarity and readability of ballot language.
