Summary

The bill changes Georgia’s voter‑registration form to ask applicants if they were previously registered in another state, county, or municipality, and to collect the prior address and a signed request to cancel that registration. Registrars must send the applicant’s identifying information to the Secretary of State, who will electronically share the notice with the former jurisdiction and keep a public count of such notices. It also allows Georgia to use similar notices received from other states to cancel a voter’s Georgia registration.
