2115. Whenever a voter, between the time of that person s last registration and the time for the closing of registration for any given election in the same county, has lawfully changed his or her surname, the voter may reregister under the new or changed name. The voter shall make an additional statement at the time of reregistration, giving the name under which he or she was last registered in that county.

This additional statement shall be given in the prior registration portion of the affidavit of registration before the affidavit is signed, and shall be deemed a part of the affidavit. Upon reregistration, the last previous registration of the voter shall be canceled.

(Enacted by Stats. 1994, Ch. 920, Sec. 2. Superseded on operative date of amendment by Stats. 2015, Ch. 728.)
