When a county clerk rejects a signature on a manual initiative or referendum petition because it doesn't closely match the signature on file in the voter registration database, this bill would create a process for that signer to fix, or "cure," the rejection. The county clerk would have to notify the signer within two business days — by phone, mail, email, or text — explaining that the signature was rejected and providing an affidavit form the signer must complete, confirming they did in fact sign the petition and including their contact information; the form would also let a voter note if a qualifying disability affects their ability to sign consistently. The signer would then have 31 calendar days from when the clerk received the petition packet to return the signed affidavit, and if they miss that deadline, their signature could not be counted; once received, the clerk would scan and keep the new signature on file for future reference.
