AB 2604: Elections: ballot curing.
What AB 2604 does, verified August 19, 2026
<p>This bill aims to improve the voting process for mail-in ballots. It requires the state to either implement a system that allows voters to access text-message-based ballot curing, or provide resources to county registrars to do so. This system would help ensure that voters can verify their signatures and correct any issues with their ballots. Currently, voters who have a phone number or email on file can receive a notification to verify their signature, but this bill would expand that option to include text messages.</p>
