SB 1068 updates Michigan election laws to clarify how voter registration records are managed and how election challenges are handled. The bill requires clerks to send notices to voters who may have moved, giving them a specific window to update their address or vote in their former precinct. It also establishes an inactive voter file for individuals who do not vote for six consecutive years or fail to respond to address confirmation notices, while ensuring they remain eligible to vote. Additionally, the legislation modifies procedures for challenging voter registration and clarifies how absent voter ballots must be marked when a voter's record is in the inactive file. These changes directly affect county clerks, election officials, and registered voters across the state.
