Title

Boards of Registrars, process for updating voter registration lists revised, publication reimbursement rate to counties revised, Secs. 17-4-30, 17-4-31 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, the boards of registrars periodically mail a notice to all registered voters seeking address confirmation. If a voter does not return the address confirmation card, the board of registrars places the voter on the inactive list of registered voters.

This bill would revise the procedures for the Secretary of State and boards of registrars to periodically update the statewide voter registration database, and would authorize the Secretary of State to adopt rules to implement this section.

Also under existing law, the state reimburses county commissions at the rate of one-fourth of the cost to publish the names proposed to be removed from the voter registration database, as required under state law.

This bill would revise the publication reimbursement rate to one-half of the costs.
