Two Senate committees approved landmark legislation Tuesday, The California Voting Rights Act of 2026, by Senator Sabrina Cervantes (D-Riverside). Senate Bill 1164 and Senate Bill 1360, collectively termed CVRA 2026, were both approved by the Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee, and SB 1164 was also approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. CVRA 2026 will fight voter suppression and vote dilution, expand access to the ballot and election materials for limited-English proficient voters, and provide the Attorney General and California voters with more tools to enforce voting rights laws.
