SB 1430: Elections.
This bill aims to amend several election-related laws in California. It would require governing boards to specify the date and purpose of an election at least 125 days before the election, instead of 123 days. The bill also changes the rules for using school buildings as polling places, vote centers, or for storing voting machines. When a school building is used for these purposes, the governing body must continue school in session on that day, except on election day. Additionally, the bill updates the process for appointing pupils to serve on precinct boards, requiring their confirmation by their educational institution instead of approval by the governing board. The bill also clarifies the appointment process for pupils schooled at home.
