Elections.

Summary

The bill lets cities, districts and other local bodies file a consolidation request with just the county elections official, rather than both the board of supervisors and the elections official, if certain pre‑approval conditions are met. It also permits the county or neighboring jurisdiction’s elections official to count the results of a consolidated vote, removes the cap of 12 instruction cards at each polling place, and shifts the duty to announce poll opening and closing to an individual precinct board member. These changes are meant to simplify administrative steps and give more flexibility to local election officials.
