If this confirmation notice card is not returned within the specified time, can the State then remove the voter from the registration rolls for an apparent address change?
No. A voter can be removed from the voter rolls for an apparent address change only if he or she has not responded to the confirmation notice sent by forwardable mail with a postage prepaid and pre-addressed return card, and if she or she has not voted or appeared to vote in an election beginning on the date the notice is sent and ending on the day after the date of the second federal general election after the date of the confirmation notice. Does Section 8 impose any time restrictions on States as to when a general list maintenance program can be conducted? Yes. Section 8 requires States to complete any program for systematic removal of the names of ineligible voters from the voter rolls no later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary election or general election for federal office. This 90 day deadline does not, however, apply to removal of names at the request of the registrant, removal due to death of the registrant, removal due to criminal conviction or mental incapacity of
