§ 4005.6

California Elections Code · 2018-11 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California

An election conducted pursuant to Section 4005 or 4007 is subject to the following requirements:

(a) The provisions of Sections 14200 and 14201 that apply to polling places also apply to vote centers.

(b) Prior to every election, the county elections official shall determine if a voter has previously identified a preferred language other than English to the elections official or to the Secretary of State. If the voter’s precinct is required to have a facsimile copy of the ballot in the voter’s preferred language pursuant to Section 14201, the county elections official shall send to him or her by regular mail or electronic mail a facsimile copy of the ballot in that language. The voter shall receive the facsimile copy of the ballot before vote centers open pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 4005. The facsimile copy of the ballot shall be sufficiently distinct in appearance from a regular ballot to prevent voters from attempting to vote on the facsimile copy.

(Added by Stats. 2017, Ch. 845, Sec. 5. (AB 918) Effective January 1, 2018.)
