This bill mandates that the secretary of state check voter records at least 90 days prior to specific elections, including town, municipal, general elections, and state or presidential primaries. The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies that these checks must occur annually and no later than 90 days before the aforementioned elections. The previous requirement of checking records "no less than annually" has been deleted, emphasizing the new timeline for these checks.

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage and is projected to have a fiscal impact of less than $10,000 for each fiscal year from 2025 to 2028. The Department of State has been contacted regarding the implementation of this legislation.
