Elections; revise information sought from persons registering to vote who indicate that they were previously registered to vote in another state, county, or municipality
What changed between versions
The applicant signature statement was changed to include options for either cancelling out-of-state registration or transferring registration within Georgia to another county or municipality.
The information required from applicants was updated to collect 'Year of birth' instead of 'Date of birth' for consistency with other forms.
New electronic reporting system requirements were added, allowing registrars to upload signed voter registration applications to the Secretary of State at least once per month.
Record-keeping requirements were updated to specify that transmission records should be treated as voter list maintenance records and stored for the duration of the person's registration in the state.
An effective date provision was added to the bill, which was not present in the original version.
The bill title was changed from 'H. B. 1227' to 'H. B. 1227 (SUB)' to indicate this is a substitute version offered by the House Committee on Governmental Affairs.
