LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2644, as introduced, Reyes. Voter registration: regulations.
Existing law, requires the Secretary of State to adopt regulations requiring each county to design and implement programs intended to identify electors who are not registered voters, and to register those persons to vote. Existing law further requires the Secretary of State, if her or she finds that a county has not designed and implemented a program meeting prescribed minimum requirements, to design a program for the county and report the violation to the Attorney General.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
