LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law requires the Secretary of State to prepare and mail to voters a state voter information guide and to make available the complete contents of the guide over the Internet. Existing law also requires the Secretary of State to establish processes to allow a voter to opt out of receiving the state voter information guide by mail and, instead, to either receive the guide in an electronic format or receive an electronic notification making the guide available by means of online access. Existing law also requires the Secretary of State to establish a procedure to permit a voter who has opted out of receiving the voter information guide by mail to again begin receiving the voter information guide by mail.
This bill would require the Secretary of State to post this opt-in procedure for receiving the guide by mail on his or her Internet web
site.
