AI Summary

  • Elections Commission must adjudicate Help America Vote Act complaints against itself on the merits rather than dismissing them simply because the Commission is the subject; complainants may seek judicial review of dismissed complaints, and all dismissed complaint results must be published on the Commission's website

  • Requires daily data matching between the voter registration list and records from the Department of Transportation, Office of Vital Records (death records), and Department of Corrections (felony convictions), with data-sharing agreements updated at least every two years

  • Ineligible voters must be removed from the registration list rather than changed to "ineligible status," with the Elections Commission maintaining permanent records of all removals including dates and reasons

  • Legislative Audit Bureau must conduct biennial audits (starting in the year of enactment) to identify non-U.S. citizens on the voter rolls, using the federal SAVE database for verification; identified registrants have 30 days to provide proof of citizenship or be removed

  • Fee for obtaining an electronic copy of the voter registration list is capped at $1,000 or less, with additional fees allowed only to cover physical reproduction and postage costs
