AB 2785: Elections: redistricting information.
<p>The bill amends section 21000 of the Elections Code to enhance redistricting processes. It allows county elections officials to provide compiled information and data to designated representatives of the legislature rather than just the legislature itself. The bill also mandates that each county elections official supply a master street index file for identifying precincts by address. Additionally, it requires the establishment of a secure electronic process for submitting this information between county officials and legislative designees or the Secretary of State. Election returns are to be kept confidential under the new provisions.</p> <p>The bill imposes additional duties on county elections officials and includes findings that justify limiting public access to certain data due to confidentiality concerns, aligning with constitutional requirements.</p>
