AI Summary

  • Allows voters from the 14th day before an election through election day to change their residence address (within the same county) or political party preference by submitting a written request to county elections officials instead of executing a new affidavit of registration.

  • Written requests must include the voter's printed name, current/former address or new party preference, a certification under penalty of perjury, voter signature, and date of execution.

  • County elections officials must immediately update voter registration upon receipt of a properly executed written request and maintain the request with the voter's record.

  • Requires issuance of either a nonprovisional or provisional ballot depending on whether the voter appears at their precinct, whether they have received a mail ballot, and whether the county has established connectivity between polling locations.

  • Took effect immediately upon Governor approval on February 13, 2020, as an urgency statute to implement procedures for the 2020 presidential primary election.
