Bill Essayli, an Inland Empire GOP assemblymember, also hopes to restrict who could return mail-in ballots.

The first legislation offered by new Republican Assemblymember Bill Essayli seeks to change how California elections are run. , which would make Election Day a state holiday, also seeks to end the practice of someone turning in multiple completed mail-in ballots, regardless of whether they live with the people who signed those ballots — an exercise known derisively in conservative circles as “ballot harvesting” that’s legal in California but banned in other states.
“These reforms will strengthen the integrity of our elections while ensuring the will of the voters is timely and accurately represented,” Essayli said in the release. He also lamented the amount of time it was taking to count votes in two legislative races with razor-thin margins.
