ELECTION INTEGRITY
As of July 2025 Key Findings
1. Sonoma County Registrar of Voters (ROV) consistently administers California state laws, but those laws we havefound weaken our election system integrity and reduce voter trust.
2. The passage of those laws have revealed major vulnerabilities, including SB 450 in 2016 gave us The Voters Choice Act and in 2021 AB 37 requires all active registered voters receive a ballot in the mail.
3. There is no Voter I.D. required to verify a voter, nor verification of citizenship.
4. Live signatures when ballots are cast in a Vote Center are not verified.
5. Increased use of voting machines at Vote Centers & lack of required testing of these machines & printers further weaken the ability to detect errors or fraud.
6. The complexities of these systems, laws and policies have led to a delay in counting ballots and reporting of election results.
