Relating to election procedures regarding accepting a voter with a residence address that is not current and the immediate effect of a voter's registration after the registrar's receipt of certain change of address notices.

Contracts

• Election Software Vendors: You must issue change orders to electronic poll book (e-poll book) providers. The software logic must be updated to ensure that inputting a "Statement of Residence" (SOR) at the polls does not automatically trigger a permanent voter registration update in the database.
• Print Vendors: Review specifications for election kits. Any Statement of Residence forms currently in production that contain language stating the form serves as a permanent registration update must be halted and revised.

Hiring/Training

• Election Judges & Clerks: Training materials for the November cycle must be rewritten. Staff must be instructed that a voter moving within the county (who has not updated their registration 30 days prior) must vote in their precinct of registration, not their new precinct of residence.
• Corporate HR/Civic Teams: Staff managing employee voter drives must stop advising that address changes can be "fixed instantly" at the polls. Training scripts must emphasize the 30-day pre-election deadline for all address changes.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Statement of Residence (SOR): This form is now solely a verification of eligibility for the *current* election. It no longer functions as a dual-purpose document for future registration.
• Voter Rolls: Registrars must revert to the standard 30-day processing window. Any address change submitted less than 30 days before an election will not be effective until after that election concludes.

Fees & Costs

• Form Replacement: Budget for the destruction of obsolete SOR stock and the printing of compliant forms.
• Software Patches: Anticipate potential one-time service fees from vendors for updating e-poll book logic to comply with the new statutory restrictions.
