[7] Californians for Electoral Reform is a non-profit organization which promotes the use of ranked choice voting at all levels of government (city, county, state legislature, school boards, etc.).
[10] In November 2005, the electorate rejected Proposition 77 which called for a panel of three retired judges to draw boundaries for California's Senate, Assembly, Congressional and Board of Equalization districts.
The proposition called for a commission of fourteen non-politician voters to draw boundaries for the Senate, Assembly, and Board of Equalization districts.
[12] In November 2010, Proposition 20 was passed, which put the commission in charge of drawing United States House of Representatives districts in California.
[13] Prior to 1978, only persons who had a certified medical excuse, or who could demonstrate that they would be out of town on Election Day, were allowed to vote absentee.
[14][15] In 2012, state lawmakers passed a bill to adopt Election Day voter registration with the law taking effect in 2016.
