## Summary

**Strong, objective evidence would be required before any name is removed from federal voter rolls.** The bill would add a new Section 8A to the National Voter Registration Act and set clear rules that limit removals and tighten how and when officials must notify people and the public. - Voters and registrants: States could not remove someone unless they verify ineligibility using objective, reliable evidence. Not voting, not replying to a notice unless it was returned as undeliverable, or other non‑voting behavior could not be the basis for removal. - Election officials and states: Officials would have to send notice to any individual removed within 48 hours with the reason and a phone number to contest or reinstate, except when the person no longer lives in the jurisdiction or is deceased. - Public and voters with disabilities: After any general list‑maintenance program, states would have to issue public notice within 48 hours using reasonable methods like newspapers or official websites and make notices accessible to voters with disabilities, including those with low vision or who are blind.
