The bill amends Section 13-2-220 of the Montana Code Annotated to revise the procedures for maintaining active and inactive voter registration lists. Key changes include the requirement for election administrators to compare registered electors against national change of address files and to send confirmation notices to individuals whose addresses appear to have changed. Additionally, the bill mandates that election administrators mail targeted notices to nonvoters and applicants who failed to provide required information on registration forms, while removing the provision for contacting provisionally registered electors.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that if an elector does not respond to confirmation notices within 30 days, they will be moved to the inactive list, and their address will be verified in collaboration with the secretary of state's office and the motor vehicle division. The secretary of state is also tasked with adopting rules to maintain applicants and remove provisionally registered electors. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
