Removing noncitizens from the rolls
What the document says“A State shall remove an individual who is not a citizen of the United States from the official list of eligible voters for elections for Federal office held in the State at any time upon receipt of documentation or verified information that a registrant is not a United States citizen.”
Inserted as a new subsection (k) of section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. The removal duty applies at any time, which places it outside the ninety day quiet period that Act otherwise imposes on systematic removals before a federal election.
What the document actually says“A State shall remove an individual who is not a citizen of the United States from the official list of eligible voters for elections for Federal office held in the State at any time upon receipt of documentation or verified information that a registrant is not a United States citizen.”
A state must take a name off the voter list. It must do so if it gets proof the person is not a citizen. It can do so at any time.
The older law limits when a state can take names off the voter list. It does not want names removed just before an election. This bill says a state must remove someone at any time if it gets proof they are not a citizen.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
