DATE: February 1 , 1984 qy
SUBJECT: Legislation: AB 726 (Chacon and Agnos)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in support of AB 726.
BACKGROUND:
Current law allows specified disabled persons to register as a permanent absent
voter. AB 726 provides in addition that any person 65 years of age or older may
also register as an absent voter. This bill furthers the appropriate use of the
absentee ballot consistent with the existing policy of the Board of Supervisors.
The Assistant Registrar believes enactment of AB 726 will not add any cost to his
operation and might even save .money by not having to handle a request for an absentee
ballot from these voters at each election.
We would, therefore, recommend that the Board support AB 726. AB 726 passed the
Assembly on January 30 and is currently pending committee assignment in the Senate.
