Voting, statewide voter registration database, identifying voter address changes, Electronic Registration Information Center removed as verification database; Secretary of State authorized to update lists using other databases

SB 142 amends existing law regarding voter registration list maintenance. It removes the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) as a database that the board of registrars or Secretary of State can use to identify voters whose addresses may have changed. Instead, the bill requires the Secretary of State to conduct voter registration list maintenance using the Alabama Voter Integrity Database (AVID). This database will rely on various data sources, including information from state agencies and potentially data shared with other states. The bill maintains the process for registrars to use United States Postal Service change-of-address information to identify address changes and notify voters.
