CA AB2797

Change deadline for counties to submit voter registration reimbursement claims to the Controller from October 31 to February 15 in the year following the fiscal year in which costs were incurred.

Exempt precincts or polling places where fewer than 10 voters cast ballots on vote-tallying machines from posting detailed vote results; require posting only the total number of voters instead to protect ballot secrecy.

Apply the ballot secrecy protection requirement to multiple sections of election code governing precinct board posting of results and vote proclamation procedures.

Allow separate write-in ballots to have different format and serial number requirements than ballot cards, with discretion granted to elections boards on specific write-in ballot design.
