As California's chief elections officer, I'm committed to making voting more
convenient and accessible so that all eligible voters can more easily cast a ballot.
That's why I sponsored the California Voter's Choice Act,
which will modernize our elections.
Starting in 2018, the Voter's Choice Act will be piloted in five California counties.
All registered voters in Madera, Napa, Nevada, San Mateo, and Sacramento counties
will automatically be mailed a ballot one month before Election Day.
Voters can return their ballot by U.S. mail,
they can deliver it to a secure drop box anywhere in the county,
or you can choose to vote in person at any vote center,
which will be open for 11 days, up to, and including, Election Day.
All other counties in California can adopt the Voter's Choice Act starting in 2020.
The most critical part of the Voter's Choice Act is that it expands access to voting.
So moving away from a single day, single location, single set of hours
to a voting period where people can vote when it's convenient for them,
at a location that's familiar to them,
that fits with the way they live their day-to-day lives.
I mean polling places that are open before the election, and you know,
right there where you live, right there where you work, right there where you shop.
It's going to increase participation and increase opportunities.
With the new model, they'll be able to go to a vote center
and get any ballot type for their area.
They won't have to vote a provisional ballot.
I think what's most important to keep in mind is nothing in the Voter's Choice Act
changes the existing options that are available.
You still have the option to vote in person,
you still have the option to vote by mail,
now you just have more availability, more locations, more days, more hours.
We're meeting throughout the community,
talking to small groups, large groups, weekends, evenings,
we're just about everywhere trying to get the word out about this.
This is our third public consultation meeting,
and now with this one we just said anybody who wants to attend,
come to this meeting and let's hear your comments on the plan,
so the more people the better.
When more eligible people vote, the stronger it is for our democracy.
So if you live in Sacramento, San Mateo, Nevada, Napa, or Madera County
I'm also urging you to get involved.
You can join a county advisory committee
and help us the best implement the Voter's Choice Act.
And you can participate in public forums to discuss the same.

I'm excited about these new opportunities to strengthen our democracy
and get more citizens active in our elections.
