Existing law prohibits local governments from enacting or enforcing any charter provision, ordinance, or regulation requiring a person to present identification for the purpose of voting or submitting a ballot at any polling place, vote center, or other location where ballots are cast or submitted. This bill would repeal that prohibition.
- Repeals SB 1174 (Min, 2024) to restore local governments’ choice to require voters to show identification before voting in local elections.
- Promotes confidence by allowing local election officials and voters to work together to implement tailored voter ID measures to meet the specific needs and circumstances of their communities.
