California Electronic Poll Books Coming

Now with the passage of SB 450, California jurisdictions have even more reasons to roll-out electronic poll books. Sponsored by Secretary of State Alex Padilla, the new law will “provide voters more options for when, where and how they cast a ballot."

This election law approved on September 29, 2016 takes effect in 2018. Under the new model, registered voters in California will be sent a ballot 28 days before the election and can return ballots to a drop-off location or cast it in-person at any vote center in their county. Vote Centers in California will allow voters the option of casting their ballot at any one location throughout their county.

To successfully launch Vote Centers, California counties will need an electronic poll book that automatically updates all systems and accommodates both same-day voter registration and vote-by-mail ballots. Robis Elections’ innovative AskED electronic poll book is currently in the review process for the State of California’s Electronic Poll Book Certification. The AskED ePollbook
