What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the Elections Commission's responsibility to change the

registration status of electors who have not voted within the previous four years from

eligible to ineligible under certain circumstances. Under current law, the

commission must, after each general election, review the voter registration list

maintained by each municipality and mail a notice of suspension of registration and

application for continuation of registration to each elector who has not voted within

the previous four years. If the elector does not respond to the notice in a timely

manner, the commission must change the elector's registration status from eligible

to ineligible. This bill also eliminates the authority of the commission to delegate

these responsibilities to the municipal clerk or board of election commissioners of a

municipality.
