Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

This bill revises requirements related to public disclosure of official lists of eligible voters. Currently, each state must maintain for public disclosure, for a minimum two-year period, all records pertaining to the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters. This bill requires these records to also include lists of the names and addresses of all registrants who were inactive (i.e., the registrant failed to respond to a notice about a change in residence) and the length of time each registrant was inactive. The bill also requires each state to biennially submit a report to the Election Assistance Commission that includes information about inactive registrants in the state.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

States must publicly disclose lists of inactive voters, including their names and addresses.
States must report data on inactive voters to the Election Assistance Commission every two years.
The bill aims to increase transparency around inactive voter registration.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, state and federal officials would have more detailed information about inactive voters. This could affect how they manage voter rolls and communicate with citizens about voter registration status. Voters themselves may also be impacted, as their personal information could become more publicly available.
