Bill > HR5707

This bill, known as the Voter Purge Protection Act, amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to establish stricter guidelines for removing voters from registration lists in federal elections. Specifically, states are now prohibited from removing a voter's name unless they can verify the voter's ineligibility using objective and reliable evidence. The bill explicitly states that certain factors cannot be considered as evidence of voter ineligibility, including a voter's failure to vote in an election, failure to respond to notices, or failure to take action related to voting. If a voter is removed from the registration list, the state must send a notice within a specified timeframe explaining the grounds for removal and providing information on how the voter can contest the removal or be reinstated. Additionally, the state must publish a public notice within 48 hours of conducting a voter list maintenance program, ensuring that the notice is accessible to voters with disabilities. The bill aims to protect voters from being improperly removed from voter rolls and provide transparency in the voter registration maintenance process.
