The proposed bill would amend current election statutes by requiring the county recorder or officer in charge of elections to remove a voter from the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) if a notice mailed to the voter is returned undeliverable. Specifically, it would eliminate the current requirement for election officials to contact the voter at their new residence address to update their information before moving them to inactive status. Instead, the bill mandates that the voter be directly removed from the AEVL upon the notice's return.

Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes to ensure clarity in the process. It maintains that a voter removed from the AEVL can only be reinstated by submitting a new request. The overall effect of these changes is to streamline the process of managing the AEVL and reduce the administrative burden on election officials when dealing with undeliverable notices.
