Summary

The bill replaces the outdated term “regular election date” with “established election date” throughout the Elections Code. It also requires the lead county’s elections official, when a measure spans multiple counties, to coordinate deadlines, receive and distribute measure text, impartial analysis, and selected arguments, and to transmit those materials to other counties within 24 hours. Finally, it clarifies reimbursement procedures for any state‑mandated costs to local agencies.
