Existing law provides procedures and requirements for contesting the results of an election. This bill would require the Secretary of State to establish a uniform report that elections officials would use to document election incidents and voting irregularities that could be used in contested elections. Because this bill would change or expand the duties of local elections officials, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
