CA AB2105

Requires the Secretary of State to identify geographic areas where vote by mail ballots deposited on election day may not receive a postmark until the following day due to postal collection and processing practices

Secretary of State must publish identified areas on its website and provide the list to county elections officials at least 120 days before elections

County elections officials must include a prominent "Mail Early" notice card with ballots sent to voters in identified at-risk areas

Required notices must warn that election day mailing may result in uncounted ballots and recommend alternatives such as returning ballots early, using drop boxes or vote centers, or requesting a postmark at a post office counter

State reimbursement to local agencies required if the Commission on State Mandates determines the bill imposes state-mandated costs
