LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1310, as amended, Choi.
 Voter registration: prospective jurors.

Existing law permits a United States citizen who is 18 years of age, a resident of California, and not imprisoned for a felony to register to vote and to vote. Existing law provides procedures for the Secretary of State and a county elections official to register a person to vote, and to update and to cancel the person’s voter registration.

Existing law provides criteria that disqualify a person from serving on a jury, including if the person is not a United States citizen or not a resident of the jurisdiction where they are summoned. Existing law requires prospective jurors to be selected at random from sources that represent cross sections of the population of the area served by the court. Existing law provides that voter registration lists are appropriate source lists for the selection of jurors.

This bill would require a jury commissioner to provide notice to the Secretary of State and the county elections official if the jury commissioner receives information from a juror affidavit that contains an attestation by the prospective juror under penalty of perjury that they are not qualified for jury service for a reason that would also make them ineligible to vote. because they are not a United States citizen or not a resident of the county. The bill would require the elections official who receives this information and determines the person is ineligible to vote to inactivate the person’s voter registration and send notice to the person that provides them an opportunity to confirm their eligibility, as specified. The bill would require an elections official to update the voter
 registration for a prospective juror person who is registered to vote but whose residence address is if the jury commissioner provides a current residence address for the person that is in a county other than the county in which they were summoned.

By establishing new duties for local elections officials, the bill would create a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish
 procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
