Voter Protection: Stops Removal from Rolls for Not Voting.

This law prevents states from removing registered voters from the rolls solely because they failed to vote in past elections or did not respond to election mail. It requires states to use objective evidence (like death or moving out of state) before removing a voter. It also makes it easier for voters who move within the same state to update their address and vote on Election Day.
Key points
States cannot remove voters from registration lists based only on inactivity (failure to vote or respond to mail).
Voters must be notified within 48 hours if they are removed, including instructions on how to appeal or be reinstated.
Voters who move within the state can affirm their new address at the polls on Election Day and still cast a ballot.
