If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding voter registration by allowing county recorders to place a person's voter registration in a "paused status" upon receiving information that raises reasonable doubts about the accuracy of that person's registration information. This new provision would require the county recorder to notify the individual of this action, ensuring transparency in the process.

Additionally, the bill defines "paused status" as a temporary classification within the statewide voter registration database. Importantly, it clarifies that individuals in paused status retain the right to vote in elections for which they are eligible, provided they supply the necessary corrective information to the county recorder. This update aims to enhance the integrity of voter registration while still safeguarding the voting rights of individuals whose registrations are under review.
