AB 25: California Voter ID and Election Integrity Act of 2025.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 7, 2025

What AB 25 does, verified December 7, 2025

This bill aims to improve election integrity and security in California. It would require voters to provide documentation of citizenship when registering to vote, and prohibit local governments from enacting charter provisions or ordinances requiring identification for voting. Voters would need to present a valid government-issued ID at a polling place to cast their ballot. The bill would also require elections officials to verify the citizenship of voters and review a random sample of voter rosters to identify ineligible voters. Additionally, it would require the state auditor to review signature comparisons and report any errors, and prohibit elections officials from mailing vote-by-mail ballots if they fail to count all ballots on time. The bill would also require reimbursement for costs mandated by the state.
