The bill amends the Election Code to modify procedures related to voter registration and voting eligibility when a voter's residence address is not current. Specifically, it changes the effective date of a voter's registration information update to the 30th day after the registrar receives a notice of change, rather than the previous provisions. Additionally, it allows voters who have changed their residence within the same county to vote in their registered precinct, provided they meet certain conditions regarding their political subdivision and the territory covered by the election.
Key amendments include the removal of the requirement for voters to request a change of registration address when submitting a statement of residence, streamlining the process for voters. The bill also clarifies that voters must affirm their eligibility and provide necessary information when voting, ensuring compliance with residence requirements. The changes will only apply to notices of address changes submitted after the bill's effective date, which can be immediate or delayed based on legislative approval.
