2005 House Bill 4228 ↩

House Roll Call 124: The amendment was adopted

To require the Secretary of State to send every voter listed on the state Qualified Voter File a form asking whether the voter wants to be placed on a list of those who want an absentee ballot in each future election. If a voter does not respond, or the letter is returned as undeliverable, the person would be placed on an inactive voter list. A voter on the inactive list could still vote using a provisional ballot, which requires additional identity verification procedures. The Secretary of State would then notify local election clerks of voters who want to be on a permanent absentee ballot list.
