County Mail Ballot Signature Verification Requirements

Summary

The bill mandates that county clerks and recorders use a team of bipartisan election judges to compare the signature on each mail‑ballot envelope with the signature on file in the statewide voter registration system. If the signatures do not match, additional judges review the envelope and the voter is notified with a form to confirm whether the ballot was returned; failure to confirm can lead to the ballot being rejected and the signatures sent to a district attorney for investigation. The measure applies to all mail‑ballot elections coordinated by counties.
