Existing law authorizes county clerks to use any reliable and reasonable means available to correct the portions of the statewide voter registration list which are relevant to the county clerk and to determine whether a registered voter's current residence is other than that indicated on the voter's application to register to vote. (NRS 293.530) Existing law further sets forth various methods for a county clerk to maintain and update the statewide voter registration list, including authorization for the county clerk in each county to enter into an agreement with the United States Postal Service or any person authorized by it to obtain the data compiled by the United States Postal Service concerning changes of addresses of its postal patrons for use by the county clerk to correct the portions of the statewide voter registration list which are relevant to the county clerk. (NRS 293.530, 293.5303, 293.5307) Section 1 of this bill requires rather than authorizes the county clerk of each county to use, or contract with any person authorized by the United States Postal Service to use, the data compiled by the United States Postal Service concerning changes of addresses of its postal patrons to correct the portions of the statewide voter registration list relevant to the county clerk. Section 2 of this bill makes a conforming change to reflect the requirements imposed on the county clerk by section 1.
Section 1 additionally requires a county clerk to publish on the Internet website of the county clerk the number of persons removed from the statewide voter registration list using such data.
