Summary

The bill removes Section 2226 of the Elections Code, which forced county election officials to change a voter’s registration when a change‑of‑address is reported, mark registrations inactive after undeliverable mail or out‑of‑state moves, and send verification mailings that could lead to cancellation. It affects all California voters and the county officials who manage voter rolls, eliminating these specific administrative steps. The change is presented as eliminating an obsolete requirement.
