Revises provisions relating to elections. (BDR 24-998)
AB 499 requires county clerks to create online voter services portals where registered voters can check registration details, print update forms, view sample ballots, and find polling locations or drop boxes. It mandates the Department of Motor Vehicles to electronically share driver’s license and ID information with counties to update voter databases, with this data protected as confidential. The bill also requires mail ballot return envelopes to include a QR code linking to the portal and changes signature verification rules for mail ballots, allowing voters to include ID details to simplify signature matching. These provisions directly affect voters, county clerks, and the DMV by modernizing voter registration data management and mail ballot processing.
