Sacramento Stockton Modesto, CA, July 26, 2026 —
An executive order issued by then-President Donald Trump aimed at creating an approved list of mail ballot voters will be paused for the upcoming California midterm elections. The decision to halt the order was announced by California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
The pause comes as a direct result of a legal challenge initiated by Bonta and a coalition of 23 other state attorneys general. The group filed a lawsuit to contest the executive order, arguing against its implementation.
The specific details regarding the timeline for the pause or the full implications for voter access in California were not immediately provided. The lawsuit filed by the attorneys general sought to block the executive order, citing concerns over its potential impact on voting processes.
Further information on the grounds for the legal challenge and the specific provisions of the executive order was not detailed in the available information.
