What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, if a voter who appears on the official voter registration list

maintained by the Elections Commission becomes ineligible to vote for any reason,

his or her status is changed from eligible to ineligible on the registration list.

Under this bill, if a voter appearing on the registration list becomes ineligible

to vote for any reason, he or she must be removed from the list and the Elections

Commission must keep a permanent record of the removal, including the date of and

reason for the removal. Consistent with current law, an individual who is removed

from the registration list and subsequently becomes eligible to register to vote in

Wisconsin may reregister as provided by law.
