Election materials: public examination: writ of mandate: elections official.

Abstract

Existing law requires the elections official administering a county, municipal, district, or school district election to make a copy of certain election materials available for public examination in his or her office for a period of 10 calendar days immediately following the filing deadline for submission of those documents. It permits any voter of the jurisdiction in which the election is being held, during that 10-calendar-day public examination period, to seek a writ of mandate or an injunction requiring the amendment or deletion of any or all of the materials. In the case of county and municipal elections, existing law also permits the elections official, himself or herself, to seek the above-described writ of mandate or injunction, as specified. This bill would also authorize the elections official to seek the above-described writ of mandate or injunction in the context of a district or school district election.
