House Bill 193 amends Section 13-2-402 of the Montana Code Annotated to require a signed written request from an elector for the cancellation of their voter registration. This new requirement is added as the first reason for cancellation, ensuring that an elector's request for cancellation is formally documented with a signature. The bill outlines several other reasons for cancellation, including the elector's death, legal incapacity, incarceration for a felony, or failure to meet voter qualifications.

The bill is designed to enhance the integrity of the voter registration process by ensuring that cancellations are initiated by the elector themselves, thereby preventing unauthorized cancellations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, emphasizing the urgency of implementing this change in the voter registration system.
