Bill > S2994

This bill, known as the Voter Purge Protection Act, aims to strengthen voter registration protections by preventing states from removing voters from registration lists based on inadequate or unreliable evidence. Specifically, the bill prohibits states from removing registered voters solely because they have not voted in recent elections or failed to respond to election mail. States can only remove voters from registration lists if they have objective and reliable evidence that the voter is ineligible, such as official records proving the voter has died or permanently moved out of the state. The bill requires states to provide notice to voters before removal and give them an opportunity to contest their removal or be reinstated. Additionally, the legislation allows voters who have moved within the same state to vote either at their current address or at a central location in their jurisdiction, even if they have not updated their address prior to the election. These provisions are designed to protect voters' rights and prevent unnecessary voter roll purges that could disenfranchise eligible voters by mistakenly removing them from voting lists.
