HB2154

THE CONTEXT: County Recorders send official mail via nonforwardable first-class mail. This mail can include a 90-day AEVL notice, notice for a change of address, a voter registration card and other official election mail.

WHAT THE BILL DID: The final vetoed version would instruct the County Recorder or officer in charge of elections to move a voter to inactive status and remove the voter from the AEVL if the 90-day AEVL notice sent to the voter is returned as undeliverable.

WHY IT MATTERED: The practical reason for this bill was to give the people who rely on the rule clearer information and a defined reporting process. It would instruct the County Recorder or officer in charge of elections to move a voter to inactive status and remove the voter from the AEVL if the 90-day AEVL notice sent to the voter is returned as undeliverable, rather than leave the current rule unchanged.
