• Directs the secretary of state to send notices by March 31, 2021 to all registered electors with placeholder dates of birth on the qualified voter file, requesting they verify their actual date of birth.

• Requires electors to return verification cards with postmarks at least 15 days before the next election or face requirements to affirm their date of birth in writing before voting.
