The bill amends Section 13-2-402 of the Montana Code Annotated to require a signed written request for the cancellation of a voter's registration. This new requirement adds a layer of verification to the cancellation process, ensuring that only those who have explicitly requested to cancel their registration can have it done. The bill outlines several other reasons for cancellation, including death, mental incapacity, felony incarceration, court orders, and failure to respond to confirmation mailings, among others.

Additionally, the bill establishes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval, allowing the new signature requirement to be implemented without delay. This change aims to enhance the integrity of the voter registration process in Montana by ensuring that cancellations are made only with the voter's explicit consent.
