HB 709 - Currently, election authorities are required to send voter notification cards to voters no later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary or general election for federal office, unless the voter has received one within the preceding 6 months. The cards are also sent after a new registration, change of address, or when a voter loses the card and requests a new one. The election authority is no longer required to send such cards (now called "voter identification cards" under the act) to voters in those instances when those voters have registered by mail and have not yet voted. Election authorities are required to send voter verification notices to voters who have registered by mail and have not voted, no later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary or general election for federal office.
