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 amends existing election laws to allow eligible voters to register to vote up to 14 days before an election, rather than the current 21-day deadline, though it maintains the requirement that individuals must reside in a county for 30 days prior to an election to be eligible to vote. The changes, which will take effect on January 1st following enactment, adjust various deadlines related to voter registration, including those for submitting change of residence notices, receiving registration forms through public agencies, and the timeframe for sending confirmation notices to voters who have moved. The bill also updates references to the Attorney General to the Secretary of State in certain sections related to voter registration procedures.
