Common Sense in Voter Registration Act of 2005

H.R. 2778, the Common Sense in Voter Registration Act of 2005, proposes a change to how local officials maintain voter registration lists for federal elections. Under this bill, a registrar could remove a person from the official voter rolls if that individual does not cast a ballot in two consecutive federal election cycles (a four-year period). Before removal, the registrar would be required to send a notice to the individual’s address; if the person does not respond within 60 days to confirm their residency, they would be removed from the list of registered voters.
