Bill Summary
Requires the department of health and senior services to notify the secretary of state of all death certificates and the secretary of state to notify the relevant local election authority
AI Summary
This bill requires the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to send a monthly report of all death certificates to the Secretary of State, who must then notify local election authorities about these deaths. The local election authorities are then obligated to remove the names of deceased individuals from their voter rolls. This process is designed to help maintain accurate voter registration records by systematically identifying and removing voters who have passed away, which can help prevent potential voter fraud and ensure election integrity. The bill adds a new section (115.028) to Chapter 115 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, establishing a clear protocol for communication between state health, election, and administrative offices to keep voter registration lists current and up-to-date.
