SB 73 is now law! This urgent legislation reinforces state authority, protects ballot security, and guarantees a full and fair vote count free from improper interference.

At a time when partisan actors are threatening our election officials and probing local infrastructure, California is sending a clear message: our elections will be governed by law, expertise, and transparent processes - not pressure from the current federal administration or unauthorized intervention.

Thank you to Senator Sabrina Cervantes and Senator Tom Umberg for authoring this essential bill, and to Governor Gavin Newsom for signing it into law. Read the Governor’s press release: https://bit.ly/SB73LAW.

Yesterday in Sacramento, the League of Women Voters of California stood with the California Democracy Partnership to move the California Voting Rights Act of 2026 forward.

Thank you Senator Sabrina Cervantes for your leadership in authoring the bill package. SB 1164 and SB 1360 both passed Senate committees, a step toward real progress against voter suppression, for language access, and for fair representation.
