Bill > SB1310

This bill aims to improve the accuracy of voter registration lists by connecting them with jury service information. It requires jury commissioners to notify the Secretary of State and county elections officials if a prospective juror, through a sworn statement (attestation under penalty of perjury), indicates they are not qualified for jury duty for a reason that would also make them ineligible to vote, such as not being a U.S. citizen or a resident of the correct jurisdiction. If an elections official receives this information and confirms the person is indeed ineligible to vote, they will inactivate that person's voter registration and send them a notice allowing them to confirm their eligibility; if no confirmation is received, the registration will be canceled. Additionally, if a prospective juror is registered to vote but lives in a different county than where they were summoned for jury duty, and no other ineligibility is noted, their voter registration will be updated with their correct address. The bill also acknowledges that these new duties for local elections officials may create state-mandated costs, which would be reimbursed according to existing state procedures.
