Elections: election officials; procedure to remove certain electors listed on the qualified voter file who have not recently voted; provide for. Amends sec. 509aa of 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.509aa).
House Bill 4462 amends Michigan election law to update procedures for maintaining voter registration records. It establishes processes for local clerks to notify electors whose addresses may have changed within or between cities, requiring them to confirm their information or risk voting in a former precinct or having their registration canceled after a period of inactivity. The bill also directs the Secretary of State to notify electors who have moved out of state or have not voted for 20 years, potentially leading to registration cancellation if they do not respond. A key change is reducing the response time for electors to return address confirmation cards to 15 days before an election, and any prior absent voter ballot applications are rescinded upon receiving these notices.
