AB 17 — Election Precinct Maps

The Elections Code requires county elections officials to divide their jurisdiction into precincts and to prepare detailed maps or exterior descriptions of the precincts. When precinct boundaries change, county election officials must create updated maps or descriptions.

Effective January 1, 2026, AB 17 adds a public access requirement for these maps. AB 17 requires the registrar of voters in each county make available, upon request and free of charge, a digital map showing the effective boundaries of every precinct within the county.

(AB 17 adds Section 12263 to the Elections Code.)
