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, instead of the current 21-day requirement. It allows for same-day voter registration at the polling place on election day, and it shortens the deadline for voters to change their address within the same county from 21 days to 14 days before an election. The bill also makes some technical changes to the voter registration process, such as modifying the deadlines for the commissioner of registration to certify and transmit voter lists to county clerks. Overall, the bill aims to expand voter access and registration opportunities leading up to elections.
