The bill amends Section 13-2-402 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to require a signed written request from an elector for the cancellation of their voter registration. This new requirement is one of several reasons outlined for which the election administrator must cancel an elector's registration, including circumstances such as the elector's death, mental incapacity, felony incarceration, or failure to meet voter qualifications.

In addition to the insertion of the requirement for a signed request, the bill maintains existing provisions regarding other reasons for cancellation, such as failure to respond to confirmation mailings and not voting in two consecutive federal general elections. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
