Protecting Voter Rights: Stricter Rules for Voter Roll Removal

This act aims to make it harder for citizens to be removed from voter lists. The changes mean election officials must have solid proof before removing someone. Citizens will have more assurance that their right to vote won't be taken away without a valid reason.
Key points
Officials cannot remove you from the voter list just because you didn't vote in past elections or didn't respond to a notice, unless the notice was returned as undeliverable.
If your name is removed from the list, the state must notify you within 48 hours, providing the reason and information on how to contest or reinstate your registration.
States must also publicly announce when they are cleaning voter rolls, so citizens can check their registration status.
