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, down from the current 21-day requirement. The bill allows eligible voters who have moved within the same county to update their registration address and vote by provisional ballot on election day, rather than having to register by the 14-day deadline. The bill also makes various other changes to voter registration procedures, such as reducing the deadline for the commissioner of registration to certify and transmit voter lists to the county clerk from the 8th day to the 5th day before an election. The bill is set to take effect on January 1 following its enactment.
