Bill
AB 1072
AB 1072 authorizes California election officials to reprint and redistribute ballots when printing errors are discovered before Election Day, reducing voter confusion and spoiled ballots.
AB 1072 establishes procedures for election officials to correct ballot printing errors discovered before Election Day, allowing ballots with mistakes to be reprinted and redistributed to voters. The bill aims to prevent the distribution of defective ballots that could confuse voters or invalidate votes due to printing defects.
Ballot printing errors—such as misaligned text, missing candidates, or unclear formatting—can disenfranchise voters and undermine election integrity. By creating a formal correction process, the bill provides a mechanism to catch and remedy these errors before ballots reach voters, reducing spoiled ballots and disputes over election results.
