Maryland Voter Registration List Accuracy and Integrity Act

SB 845 requires local election offices to immediately remove voters from Maryland's statewide registration list when they receive verified death reports from specific sources, such as the Maryland Department of Health or the Social Security Administration. It mandates that election directors send a 2-week verification notice to voters reported deceased, allowing them to contest removal by proving they are alive. If a voter contests and provides valid reason, their registration may be retained or referred to a hearing; if no contest occurs, removal is finalized. The bill also requires election directors to reinstate registrations if a removed voter is later confirmed alive, ensuring accuracy in voter rolls.
