Bill Summary
Currently, a person eligible to vote is required to register at least 21 days prior to an election in order to vote in that election. This bill would provide that a person eligible to vote may register up to 14 days prior to an election and vote in that election. The bill would not affect the constitutional requirement that a person must reside in a county for 30 days prior to an election in order to be eligible to vote in that election.
AI Summary
This bill permits voter registration up to 14 days before an election, reducing the current 21-day requirement. The bill would not affect the existing 30-day residency requirement to be eligible to vote in a county. The bill makes other changes to voter registration procedures, such as allowing voters who move within a county to correct their registration and vote by provisional ballot at their new polling place, and adjusting deadlines and requirements related to change of address, name changes, and the certification and transmission of voter registration lists. The bill is intended to take effect on January 1 following enactment, to allow the Secretary of State and county commissioners of registration to prepare for the changes.
