MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a standard legislative layout to a 'House Substitute' style with added line numbers and spacing, but the substantive legal language regarding voter registration cancellation, citizenship verification, and felony disqualification remains identical.

TECHNICAL

The document structure was changed to include line numbers and specific 'House Substitute' headers, likely for internal committee tracking, while the actual bill content was preserved.
