LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 696, as introduced, Umberg. Elections: election day procedures.

Existing law prescribes various election day procedures, including the hours that the polls must be open and when voting will commence. Existing law requires the precinct board to proclaim aloud at the polling place that the polls are open before it receives any ballots.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

Section 14213 of the Elections Code is amended to read:
