California Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez (D-Chula Vista) has introduced AB 1873, to provide that counties and other local governments could use all-postal balloting for special elections if they wish, although in addition to the mail-ballots, they would also need to provide centers for people to use who don’t wish to vote by mail. But there would be no general opening of neighborhood polling places. Thanks to Rob Richie for this news.
