Senate Bill 323: power of attorney = power of Greyskull.

10/16/2019

 
SB 3232 adds new Civil Code section 5105(g), which provides that “[n]otwithstanding any other law,” election rules shall “[r]equire the ballot of a person with general power of attorney for a member to be counted if returned in a timely manner.”
Must inspectors now count all ballots cast in a timely manner by persons with general power of attorney regardless of whether the ballot or its casting comply with the numerous procedural and content-requirements of “other laws?” For example, if the power of attorney marks their name or unit address on the ballot, fails to use the two-envelope system, or rolls the ballot up and beats the inspector about the head with it, must the vote still be counted? Apparently so.
