SB200 Alabama 2021 Session

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

Relating to voter registration lists; to amend Sections 17-4-30 and 17-4-31, Code of Alabama 1975; to revise the process used by the Secretary of State and boards of registrars to periodically update the statewide voter registration database; to authorize the Secretary of State to adopt rules; and to revise the publication reimbursement rate to counties relating to revising the statewide voter registration database.
