What it does

Existing law requires that the identification envelope that for returning a vote by mail ballot contain specified information, including the signature of the voter. Existing law requires the elections official, upon receipt of a vote by mail ballot, to compare the signature on the identification envelope with specified voter records. If the elections official determines that the signatures do not compare, existing law prohibits the ballot from being counted.
