SB 505: Voter Bill of Rights.

Existing law sets forth requirements and entitlements with respect to the right to vote in California elections. Among the requirements for voters is United States citizenship. Existing law establishes a Voter Bill of Rights enumerating the rights of voters as established under existing law and requires the Voter Bill of Rights, worded as specified, to be made available to the public. Existing law permits the Secretary of State to develop regulations to implement and clarify the Voter Bill of Rights.

This bill would eliminate the requirement that the Voter Bill of Rights be worded as specified and would instead authorize the Secretary of State to revise the wording as necessary to ensure understanding.
