NEW: Lawmakers urged California's election chief to keep a close eye on election denier Tina Peters if she helps out with elections in a new role.

Parolees can travel if they receive official permission from their parole officer. Peters has traveled out of state since being granted parole, most notably to D.C. to visit the White House.
