Provides protections against illegal voter purging
This bill requires anyone (other than election officials) who sends mail intended to challenge a voter's eligibility to file specific documentation with the state board of elections within two business days. The required filing includes copies of the mail, recipient lists, and details about the sender (name, address, employer). Failure to file creates a legal presumption that the mail cannot be used to challenge the voter's qualifications. The law directly affects organizations or individuals sending such challenge-related mail, aiming to prevent misuse of voter challenge processes.
