CA SB25

Los Angeles County elections official must conduct elections using an alternate ballot order for three years after declaring the county's 2018 voting system modernization project complete and operational.

The alternate ballot order prioritizes local offices and measures first (City/Local), followed by District, County, State, State Judicial, and National Election categories, differing from the standard ballot order.

County elections official must prepare and submit a report three years after implementation to the Secretary of State and Legislature detailing transition costs, voter turnout, overvotes/undervotes, dropoff rates, and legislative recommendations for different contest types.

After the three-year pilot period, Los Angeles County elections official may continue using the alternate ballot order for future elections.

Requires the county elections official to post the completion declaration and final report on its public website and notify state legislative leadership upon declaration.
