Failed to pass both houses, will not become law this session
Under this bill, if a voter appearing on the registration list becomes ineligible to vote for any reason, he or she must be removed from the list and the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) must keep a permanent record of the removal, including the date of and reason for the removal.
Currently, inactive and ineligible voters are maintained on the rolls with their status clearly indicated so election officials can easily flag ineligible voters and view the entire history of an individual voter. Requiring WEC to maintain two separate voter eligibility lists is likely to cause confusion and inefficiency for clerks and voters.
