Bill Summary

The bill permits the clerk of each county to remove a voter from lists of qualified voters receiving mail-in ballots if the following circumstances apply: (1) the United States Postal Service returned mail of a ballot, sample ballot, or any other official county election mail sent directly to the named voter; (2) the voter has not used a mail-in ballot for any election in a two-year period; or (3) the United States Postal Service National Change of Address System indicates the voter's recipient address has changed or is undeliverable. Prior to removing a voter from the list the county clerk is required to notify the voter in writing and indicate the reasons for the removal and instruct the voter on the necessary steps to continue to vote by mail. If the voter does not respond to the notice within 30 days of mailing, the county clerk would remove that voter from the list of voters receiving mail-in ballots and send that voter a notice of removal along with an application to re-apply to vote by mail.
