Revise election laws related to active and inactive voter lists
HB 423 revises election laws concerning the maintenance of voter registration lists, affecting registered electors and election administrators. It requires election administrators to annually update voter lists using methods such as comparing addresses with national files or sending confirmation notices. If an elector's address cannot be confirmed, they are moved to an inactive list. Election administrators must then attempt to verify the elector's address with state agencies, and the elector remains inactive until they update their registration. These list maintenance procedures must be completed at least 90 days before federal primary or general elections.
