Under existing law, a board of registrars is prohibited from registering any person as a qualified elector within the 10-day time period before an election, except in counties with a population of 600,000 or more inhabitants, in which case local laws for voter registration deadlines apply.
Under existing law, the judge of probate after registration is closed compiles a list of registered voters.
This bill would extend the voter registration prohibition time period from 10 to 17 days.
This bill would require the voter registration list to be printed within the 10-day period prior to an election.
This bill would also remove the exception so that all counties in the state must comply with the 17-day deadline.
