Bill > SR563

This resolution urges the Georgia Secretary of State to immediately and fully comply with a request from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) to securely provide Georgia's voter registration list. This request stems from the DOJ's role in enforcing federal election laws, specifically the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), which requires states to maintain accurate voter lists by removing ineligible voters, and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which mandates a centralized, computerized statewide voter registration system. The resolution notes that the DOJ's request is part of a broader effort, initiated by a presidential executive order, to ensure states comply with these voter list maintenance requirements, and that Georgia's Secretary of State has thus far refused to fully comply, leading to a lawsuit filed by the DOJ.
