If HB2154 were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding the handling of undeliverable early voting notices. Specifically, it would require the County Recorder or officer in charge of elections to move a voter to inactive status if the 90-day Active Early Voting List (AEVL) notice is returned as undeliverable. The bill would also mandate the removal of that voter from the AEVL, streamlining the process by eliminating the previous requirement to contact the voter to update their address before taking these actions.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that a voter who receives an early ballot at an address where another person previously resided must indicate "not at this address" on the envelope and return it. Upon receipt of this returned ballot, the county recorder or election officer would follow the procedures outlined in the amended subsection E, ensuring consistency in handling undeliverable ballots and maintaining the integrity of the voter registration process.
