Thanks to Richard winger of Ballot Access news for this post.
On February 13th, California Governor, Gavin Newsom (D) Signed SB 207, which takes effect Immediately.
It lets Voters Change their Party on Election Day, or at Any time during the Two Weeks before a Primary or General Election.
California Voters already had the Ability to Change if the Change was made Earlier than that.
The upcoming Primary is also the First time Californians can Newly Register to Vote on Election Day at Polling Stations.
Anticipating Long Lines of Residents Registering to Vote, Lawmakers from Both Parties said the New Rule will allow already Registered Voters to Bypass those Lines if they simply wish to Update their Party Affiliation or Residency.
Independent Voters, also known as No Party Preference (NPP), in California, Don’t need to Register as a Democrat to Vote in the Democratic Presidential Primary. Those Voters can just Request a Democratic Ballot, either by Mail or In Person on Election day.
The State has 5.6 Million NPP Voters, and make up 28% of California’s Registered Voters.
Democratic Presidential Campaigns hope the Law will Boost the Number of Registered Democrats and Participation in their Primary.
