Voter Purge Protection Act
S 2994, the Voter Purge Protection Act, prevents states from removing voters from registration lists based on non-voting or failure to respond to mail. It requires states to use verified evidence - like death records or permanent out-of-state moves - for removals, not just non-voting history. Voters removed must receive 48-hour notice with reinstatement options, and states must publicly announce list maintenance efforts. The bill also allows voters to update their address through election day at polling locations or central sites, ensuring continued eligibility after moving within the same state. This directly protects voters who might otherwise be incorrectly purged due to administrative errors or lack of contact.
