Relating to: including a space for write-in candidates on city election ballots; eliminating independent candidates from the partisan primary ballot; and using a temporary operator’s license or identification card to establish proof of residence for voter registration (suggested as remedial legislation by the Elections Commission).
AB 937 modifies city election rules in three key ways. It requires city ballots to include space for write-in candidates and removes independent candidates from partisan primary ballots (they will appear on separate ballots instead). The bill also allows temporary driver's licenses or ID cards to serve as proof of residence for voter registration. These changes directly affect city voters, independent candidates running for city offices, and individuals registering to vote using temporary identification.
