Election Law - Individuals Released From State Correctional Facilities - Automatic Restoration of Voter Registration

Summary

The bill requires the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services to send a weekly electronic list of individuals leaving state correctional facilities to the State Board of Elections. The Board then automatically re‑activates the voter registration of anyone who was previously registered in Maryland and now has a Maryland address, and sends them a notice confirming their status. The law also mandates that released individuals receive a voter registration form and that information about their registration cannot be disclosed under the Public Information Act.
