JOIN THE INITIATIVE TO SAVE CALIFORNIA NOW

OUR MISSION

The Save California Initiative is dedicated to restoring trust, transparency, and accountability to California’s election system. We believe that a robust and secure democracy relies on the principle of "one legal citizen, one vote." Our platform focuses on common-sense reforms to eliminate vulnerabilities, protect the integrity of the ballot box, and ensure that every legal voter can have confidence in the final results.

The Problem:

California’s current system of mailing a paper ballot to every registered voter on the rolls—regardless of active status—creates millions of unsupervised ballots. Furthermore, legalized third-party ballot collection ("ballot harvesting") allows political operatives to collect and submit ballots, leaving the chain of custody highly vulnerable to coercion, loss, or manipulation.

Our Solution:

  • End Universal Mail-In Voting: Return to an application-based absentee voting system, ensuring ballots are only sent to voters who actively request them.

  • Ban Ballot Harvesting: Restrict ballot return assistance to immediate family members, household members, or designated caregivers, ensuring a secure and verifiable chain of custody for every vote cast.

The Problem:

Inadequate maintenance of voter registration databases has left California’s voter rolls cluttered with deceased individuals, residents who have moved out of state, and non-citizens. These "phantom voters" pose a significant vulnerability, particularly under a universal mail-in system.

Our Solution:

  • Mandatory Roll Audits: Require county registrars to conduct biannual, rigorous database cleanups using federal databases, the Social Security Death Index, and interstate verification systems like the National Change of Address database.

  • Verify Citizenship: Ensure that voter registration systems are directly integrated with the DMV and immigration databases to prevent non-citizens from being automatically registered to vote.

The Problem:

California is one of the few states that does not require voters to verify their identity with a photo ID at the ballot box. Signature verification for mail-in ballots is often subjective, inconsistent, and highly prone to human error or lax enforcement.

Our Solution:

  • Implement Strict Voter ID Laws: Require a government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID) to vote in person.

  • Secure Mail-In Verification: Require mail-in voters to write their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number on the return envelope to verify their identity before the ballot is processed.
