Why 4/5: The bill directly impacts voter registration maintenance, including the removal of ineligible voters and the process for confirming citizenship, which can affect voter access.
This bill requires the Department of Elections to complete systematic voter roll purges 90 days before all primary and general elections, extending a current restriction that only applies to federal elections. It also establishes a process for confirming citizenship before cancellation and extends response times for both voters and registrars in certain cancellation processes.
