  • Removes a January 1, 1997 deadline for the Secretary of State to establish the technology for implementing Michigan's statewide qualified voter file.

  • Changes language to specify the qualified voter file "is" (rather than "shall be") the official file for conducting all elections in the state on or after January 1, 1998.

  • Removes a January 1, 1998 effective date requirement, making the qualified voter file registration provisions apply generally without the specific date limitation.

  • Permits individuals to change their residence address on their operator's or chauffeur's license under the Michigan Vehicle Code without automatically updating their qualified voter file address, and vice versa.
