AB 2691: Elections: elective office: felony conviction.
What AB 2691 does, verified September 1, 2026
This bill would amend the elections code to prohibit individuals with felony convictions from running for state or local elective offices. The existing law already prohibits consideration of candidates with felony convictions for accepting or giving bribes, embezzlement, extortion, or theft. The bill would add felony convictions for sexual assault and human trafficking to this list, effectively barring individuals with these convictions from holding elective office.
