Expands notification requirements for voters who receive change of address notices to addresses outside their county or city, requiring contact through mail, email, and telephone numbers in registration records

Directs the State Board of Elections to establish uniform, statewide forms for all cancellation and inactive status notices

Gives voters 14 days after notice is mailed to appear before the board or respond in writing before registration cancellation takes effect
