This bill clarifies state authority under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to remove individuals from voter rolls based on citizenship status. Currently, the law allows states to remove voters for specific reasons like death or change of address, but does not explicitly mention citizenship as a removal criterion. The legislation adds citizenship status and changes in citizenship status to the list of valid grounds for voter removal. The bill does not appropriate new funding or establish a timeline for implementation, instead operating as a technical amendment to existing voter registration law. The changes would primarily affect state election officials who manage voter registration lists and individuals whose citizenship status changes.
