HB 694 Voter registration; transfers and cancellations.
Introduced by: Beverly J. Sherwood | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Voter registration; transfers and cancellations. Allows a voter who has moved between jurisdictions in the Commonwealth to transfer his registration without having to provide all the information originally required for registration. The registrar where the voter formerly resided is required to forward the original application for registration to the registrar for the voter's new locality. The time limit for a voter to cancel his registration is revised to coincide with the closing of the books prior to an election. Also, the State Board of Elections is given the authority to send notices requesting the confirmation of voters' addresses when they appear to have moved, and to receive the responses to such notices.
