Makes sure voters are properly notified if there is a problem with the address on their voter registration. When postal data shows a voter’s mailing address is no longer valid, the bill requires county elections offices to take extra steps to contact the voter, such as updating the address if a new one is available or sending notice to the voter’s home when possible. The goal is to prevent voters from being marked inactive without knowing it. The bill also adds responsibilities for county elections officials, making it a state-mandated local program.
