The bill 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 the election administrator can only process cancellations when a signed request is submitted. The bill outlines additional reasons for cancellation, including the elector's death, legal incapacity, incarceration for a felony, or failure to meet voter qualifications.

The act is designed to enhance the integrity of the voter registration process by ensuring that cancellations are initiated by the voters themselves through a formal request. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval, reflecting the urgency of implementing these changes to voter registration procedures.
