California SB3 amends signature verification procedures for vote-by-mail ballots.

California SB3 modifies the Elections Code to revise signature verification procedures for vote-by-mail ballots. It mandates that elections officials compare signatures on identification envelopes and signature verification statements with those on file in voter registration records. If a signature does not match, officials must notify voters and provide opportunities to verify their signatures. The bill also outlines procedures for handling discrepancies, including the use of signature verification technology and the acceptance of signatures made by marks or stamps.
