Description

Voter registration list maintenance; voters identified as having duplicate registrations. Requires the Department of Elections to provide to the general registrars a list of registered voters who have been found through list comparisons and data-matching exchanges with other states to be registered in another state. The bill requires the general registrars, upon receipt of such lists, to send notice to the voter and provide a postage prepaid, pre-addressed return card by which the voter may state his current address and verify or dispute the out-of-state registration record. The general registrars are also required to contact the registration official of the state of the out-of-state registration record to request a copy of the voter's registration record in that state. If a voter returns the return card confirming his move from the Commonwealth or verifying his out-of-state registration record, or if the registration official provides a copy of the voter's registration record in that state and such record is dated subsequent to the voter's registration record in the Commonwealth, the bill requires the general registrars to cancel the voter's registration record. If a voter returns the return card confirming his address within the city or county of his registration or disputing the out-of-state registration record, the general registrar is required to so notify the registration official of the state of the voter's out-of-state registration record. If no return card is received within 30 days after the general registrar sends notice to the voter, the bill requires the general registrar to place the voter's name on inactive status in accordance with state and federal law.
