A new California law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom Oct. 10, makes it a misdemeanor for California residents to vote in another state, if they have already voted in an election in California on the same date.
Authored by Assemblyman Marc Berman (D–Menlo Park), Assembly Bill 1539 aimed to clean up the state’s prior law, which didn’t cover those who vote in California and in another state either in person or via a mail-in ballot.
