ACROSS CALIFORNIA — Two bills by state Sen. Josh Becker (D-Menlo Park) drafted "to advance voter equity" advanced in the state Assembly this week, his office announced.
Senate Bill 503, which would implement a uniform statewide signature verification standard for mail-in ballots, passed the Assembly Elections Committee in a 6-1 vote and will head to the Appropriations Committee.
Senate Bill 504, which would take steps to ensure that those who have been released from incarceration would not inadvertently be removed from voter rolls, was approved by the committee unanimously and will head to the Public Safety Committee.
