Roll-maintenance criteria in statute

The statute explicitly enumerates the criteria for removing voters from rolls in binding statutory language (Acts 1994, codified as Ala. Code § 17-4-39), covering death (Social Security Death Index), change of address (driver license data, National Change of Address database, state-to-state comparisons), and ineligibility (citizenship status). The removal criteria are defined in statute, not delegated to regulation or administrative discretion, and the statute specifies the exact data sources and methods to be used. This satisfies the criterion at the highest level by grounding removal procedures directly in statutory text.

Arizona Revised Statutes § 16-165 exhaustively enumerates the statutory criteria for voter roll removal, including death (subsection A.2), change of address (A.8-9), and inactivity (A.7). The criteria are grounded directly in statute, not delegated to regulation or administrative discretion. The statute further specifies notice and cure procedures for some removals (e.g., thirty-five-day cure for citizenship challenges, A.10). This satisfies the criterion at the highest level because the foundational framework is constitutional + statutory (Arizona Constitution Art. II governs elections; the statute implements those constitutional requirements).

Section 101(4) sets out exhaustively in statute the criteria for voter roll removal: request with proof of identity, death, invalid information, and change of address. These grounds are enumerated and binding, not delegated to regulation or administrative discretion. The criteria meet the ordinal threshold of 'statute' (score 1); while the Constitution Act does not explicitly mandate roll maintenance, the statutory grounding here is clear and comprehensive.

“The returning officer or assistant returning officer may delete the name of a person from a preliminary list of electors if (a) the person requests it and provides satisfactory proof of identity; (b) it is established that the elector is deceased; (c) it is established that the information provided in respect of the elector is not valid; or (d) it is established that the elector no longer resides at the address indicated on the list.”

C.R.S. § 1-2-605 defines roll-maintenance criteria entirely within statute. It specifies triggers for inactivity marking (undeliverable mail, undeliverable mail ballot) and cancellation (inactivity + two consecutive general elections without voting or response), and provides a cure mechanism (confirmation card return, voting, or address update restores active status). All criteria are enumerated and mandatory ("shall"), not delegated to regulatory discretion. This satisfies the criterion at the highest level: statutory specification with defined procedures.

Connecticut Gen. Stat. § 9-35(b) explicitly enumerates removal criteria in statute: death, disfranchisement, and confirmed change of address. The statute further defines what constitutes 'confirmed in writing' through three specific mechanisms (motor vehicle license change, voter registration agency notification, or registration elsewhere). This satisfies the statutory grounding requirement and provides enumerated procedures. The presence of the National Voter Registration Act compliance provisions and the inactive registry list procedure (subsection (e)) adds constitutional layer protection.

“the registrars shall remove from the list the name of each elector who has died, who has been disfranchised or who has confirmed in writing that the elector has moved out of the municipality”

The statute explicitly defines removal criteria in three contexts: (1) change of address via undeliverable mail triggers an address verification procedure; (2) failure to respond within 60 days results in 'inactive status'; (3) remaining inactive for 2 consecutive general elections triggers removal. All three removal pathways are enumerated in statutory text with specific procedural triggers and timelines, not delegated to regulatory discretion.

§ 19 codifies that voter lists are prepared from CPR — comprehensive list-maintenance framework based on continuously-updated population register. § 47a codifies on-day polling-place change application. § 47 codifies in-person voting verification. § 64 codifies postal-vote tracking. § 96 codifies referendum eligibility. Comprehensive automatic list-maintenance codified.

§ 18 codifies the voter register's required contents (personal identity code, full name, constituency, home municipality, voting district, polling place). § 28 codifies finality and the limited post-finality correction. § 26 codifies self-correction. § 23 codifies data-checking against the Population Information System. § 162 codifies the Population Register Centre's notification duty. Comprehensive statutory roll-maintenance criteria codified.

§ 98.065 mandates an NVRA-compliant list maintenance program with enumerated criteria; § 98.0655 prescribes specific forms (address-confirmation, etc.) for maintenance. Ordinal 2/2 — both statutory and procedural specificity.

“The supervisor must conduct a general registration list maintenance program to protect the integrity of the electoral process by ensuring the maintenance of accurate and current voter registration records”

§ 21-2-234 codifies inactive-elector criteria (no vote + no contact 3 years → confirmation notice). § 21-2-231 codifies felony / noncitizen / mentally incompetent / deceased list-maintenance criteria. § 21-2-236 codifies retention periods. § 21-2-210 codifies Secretary of State chief-officer role. Comprehensive statutory roll-maintenance criteria.

The removal criteria (outdated/undeliverable address, non-voting in two previous federal cycles, preregistration exception) are comprehensively defined in statute rather than delegated to regulation or administrative discretion. The statute further specifies both the identification method (subsection b) and the reregistration cure procedure (subsection e), providing a complete statutory framework for voter removal and restoration.

“The clerk, after every general election, shall remove the names of registered voters who were identified as having an outdated or undeliverable address who did not vote in all elections held during the two previous federal election cycles with the exception of anyone who preregistered pursuant to section 11-12(b).”

The statute exhaustively enumerates five specific grounds for voter removal: death, out-of-county residence, inactivity per NVRA, criminal disfranchisement, and failure to provide proof of citizenship. All criteria are defined directly in statute (Ind. Code § 3-7-26.3-11), not delegated to regulation. The reference to federal law (52 U.S.C. 21083, 20507) and cross-references to other statutes (IC 3-7-46, IC 3-7-38.2-7.3) anchors removal authority in statutory text, satisfying the constitutional + statute level (score 2).

Iowa Code § 48A.30 sets roll-maintenance criteria directly in statute with exhaustive enumeration of specific grounds for cancellation, including death, change of address (registration in another jurisdiction or non-residency), inactivity (two successive general elections), felony conviction, and incompetency. The statute also mandates notice to voters when cancellation occurs under specified paragraphs (subsection 2), providing procedural clarity and transparency. This satisfies the statutory requirement at the highest level.

KRS 116.113 codifies the roll-maintenance criteria: the State Board of Elections removes a voter's name on notice of death, a declaration of incompetency, excusal from jury duty for non-citizenship, conviction of a felony, or out-of-state registration. KRS 116.112 codifies a voter-registration purge program with an inactive-voter list using USPS change-of-address data, and KRS 116.114 codifies an annual records-cleanup report. Comprehensive statutory roll-maintenance criteria codified.

La. R.S. 18:196 provides comprehensive statutory definition of voter roll-maintenance criteria: inactivity triggering placement on an inactive list (address confirmation notice), change of address procedures with documented pathways, and explicit cancellation criteria (failure to respond + no voting for two federal election cycles). All removal triggers are enumerated in statute with specific procedural safeguards (written address confirmation, cure opportunities via petition or voting). The statute itself is part of Louisiana's constitutional election framework.

The statute explicitly and exhaustively enumerates the grounds for removal (radiation) from voter rolls: annual revision, change of electoral residence, and rectification by the superior court of justice. These criteria are statutorily defined with no delegation to administrative discretion. The section also specifies that foreign nationals are removed when they no longer meet eligibility conditions, and removal may occur ex officio. Constitutional protections inherent in the rule-of-law framework reinforce the statutory grounding.

“Les listes des électeurs sont permanentes, sauf les radiations et inscriptions qui peuvent avoir lieu, soit lors de la révision annuelle, soit en vertu du changement de résidence électorale, soit en vertu d'une rectification par la Cour supérieure de justice.”

Article 34 of this organic law (Loi organique 2018-008) sets forth the specific grounds for voter roll removal in statutory form: death, loss of electoral capacity via final court judgment, change of address/Fokontany, and erroneous inscription. These criteria are exhaustively enumerated in the statute itself, not delegated to regulation. The organic law status provides constitutional-level grounding, satisfying the highest ordinal level.

Section 3-504 establishes clear statutory criteria for voter removal: death (via Social Security Administration reports and court records), felony conviction (via court clerks), and name changes (via court orders). The statute enumerates the sources of removal information, specifies the notice procedure (regular U.S. mail with a 2-week cure window), and provides an explicit appeal/objection mechanism. The procedural clarity is high—both a permissive-access scholar and a restrictive-access scholar would recognize the rules as statutorily grounded and non-discretionary.

“Whenever a local board receives a report obtained by the State Administrator under subsection (a)(3) of this section that includes a registered voter, the election director shall mail to the address shown on the statewide voter registration list, by regular U.S. mail, a notice that: 1. states that the registered voter has been reported by the Social Security Administration to have died; and 2. notifies the registered voter or a person attending the affairs of a deceased voter that the voter will be removed from the statewide voter registration list unless, within 2 weeks after the date of the letter, the registered voter or a representative: A. objects to the removal; and B. shows cause why the removal should not proceed.”

The statute explicitly enumerates multiple roll-maintenance removal criteria: death (with documentation from competent authorities), change of address (via signed request with biometric data), failure to obtain voting credential within prescribed deadline, and judicial suspension of political rights. All criteria are set forth in this statutory section rather than delegated to regulation, and the constitutional basis is implied through the formal legislative instrument (LGIPE). The three core criteria (death, address change, and inactivity via credential failure) are all statutorily grounded.

§ 201.171 codifies list-maintenance criteria: posting voting history within 6 weeks; SoS changes registrants to 'inactive' after 4 years without voting; eliminating duplicate names; protections against improper removal. § 201.1615 codifies inter-agency data matching. § 201.022 codifies the statewide registration system. § 201.13 codifies deceased-voter reporting. Comprehensive statutory roll-maintenance criteria codified.

“After the close of the calendar year, the secretary of state shall determine if any registrants have not voted during the preceding four years. The secretary of state shall perform list maintenance by changing the status of those registrants to "inactive" in the statewide registration system.”

Missouri statute RSMo § 115.193 explicitly defines removal criteria in statutory language: change of residence (with written confirmation or notice nonresponse plus two election cycles without voting) and inactivity (via USPS notification or notice nonresponse within 30 days). The criteria are enumerated in statute with clear conditions and procedural safeguards, including notice requirements, cure opportunities (return of notice, address confirmation, affirmation of continued residence), and a defined remedy for improper removal (election authority may authorize voting on election day). This satisfies the statutory-grounding and enumeration requirements at the statutory level.

“a registered voter's name shall not be removed from the list of registered voters on the ground that the voter has changed residence unless: (1) The voter confirms in writing that the voter has changed residence to a place outside the election authority's jurisdiction in which the voter is registered; or (2) The voter fails to respond to a notice described in this section and has not voted in an election during the period beginning on the date of the notice and ending on the day after the date of the second general election that occurs after the date of the notice.”

The statute explicitly sets removal criteria in law: voters may be removed only for error in registration or ineligibility (§32-329(1)(b)), and specifically prohibits removal based solely on inactivity (§32-329(2)). For change of address, a defined two-step cure procedure is mandated—confirmation notice with postage-paid return card by the registration deadline, followed by removal only if no response and no voting within two federal general elections (§32-329(3)-(5)). The criteria are enumerated in statute with constitutional-grade protection against arbitrary removal.

“No name shall be removed from the voter registration register for the sole reason that such person has not voted for any length of time.”

NRS § 293.530 provides statutory enumeration of specific criteria for removal from rolls: notice requirement, postcard requirement, nonresponse, failure to update via automatic registration, and failure to vote within two general elections. The statute also defines inactivity status separately (paragraph g), with notice requirements and timing specified in statute. The criteria are concrete, not delegated to regulation, though the Secretary of State may adopt regulations for maintaining the inactive list structure.

§ 5-614 codifies the statewide computerized voter registration list (HAVA-compliant). § 5-602 codifies pre-election publication of registration records. § 5-712 codifies confirmation-notice procedure (NVRA-compliant). § 11-208 / § 10-109 codify out-of-state / military voter list maintenance. Comprehensive roll-maintenance criteria codified.

North Carolina General Statutes § 163-82.14 explicitly sets forth in statutory text the three primary criteria for voter removal: death (with mandatory reporting from Department of Health and Human Services and mandatory removal by county boards), conviction of felony (with detailed notice and objection procedures), and change of address (with systematic confirmation mailings and failure-to-respond protocols). The statute enumerates each ground for removal and prescribes the procedural steps counties must follow, rather than delegating to administrative regulation or discretion. The section also includes cure/appeal paths (e.g., 30-day objection period for felony convictions triggering a challenge hearing under G.S. 163-85(c)(5)). This satisfies the criterion at the highest ordinal level because the substantive criteria are grounded in statute with defined procedures.

§ 16.1-02-10 codifies inactive-status criteria (4 years without voting). § 16.1-02-15.1 codifies voter-list maintenance and sharing with other states/consortia (ERIC-like). § 16.1-02-03 codifies the central voter file. § 16.1-02-11 codifies SoS rule-making authority. § 16.1-02-05 codifies new-voter entry. Comprehensive list-maintenance criteria codified.

“After the close of each even-numbered calendar year, the secretary of state shall determine if any individual has not voted during the preceding four years and shall change the status of each such individual to "inactive" in the central voter file.”

§ 2-3 codifies that 'the Ministry shall create and update the voter roll. The voter roll shall be updated through the Saturday before election day' (Departementet skal opprette og oppdatere manntall. Manntallet skal oppdateres til og med lørdagen før valgdagen). § 2-6 codifies which municipality voters are entered in. § 2-22 codifies regulations on the voter roll. Comprehensive statutory roll-maintenance criteria.

“Departementet skal opprette og oppdatere manntall. Manntallet skal oppdateres til og med lørdagen før valgdagen.”

The statute exhaustively enumerates nine grounds for voter roll removal, including death (criterion example), change of address/residence (grounds 5, 7, and implicitly 6), and inactivity-related procedures (ground 6 referencing confirmation mailings and voting history). All removal criteria are set directly in statute with no delegation to regulation or administrative discretion. The reference to other statutory sections (4-120.1, 4-120.2, Title 30) grounds the procedures further in law.

The statute explicitly defines criteria for removal from rolls (change of residence) with enumerated conditions: either written confirmation by the elector OR failure to respond to notice combined with non-voting over two general election cycles. The procedural requirements—notice content, timing (30 days), cure opportunity (responding or voting), and appeal mechanism (two election cycles for correction)—are all codified in statute rather than left to regulation. The statute also addresses inactive status placement (Section 7-5-330(E)(2)) with defined timelines (seven days).

“(F)(1) The State Election Commission may not remove the name of a qualified elector from the official list of eligible voters on the ground that the qualified elector has changed residence unless the qualified elector: (a) confirms in writing that the qualified elector has changed residence to a place outside the county in which the qualified elector is registered; or (b)(i) has failed to respond to a notice described in item (2); and (ii) has not voted or appeared to vote and, if necessary, correct the county board of voter registration and elections record of the qualified elector's address, in an election during the period beginning on the date of the notice and ending on the day after the date of the second general election that occurs after the date of the notice.”

§ 12-4-19.4 codifies cancellation criteria: 'if a voter placed in the inactive registration file does not vote by the second general election following the confirmation mailing, the registration shall be canceled.' § 12-4-19.2 codifies inactive-status criteria. § 12-4-19.7 codifies confirmation mailing. § 12-4-19.1 codifies notice. § 12-4-9 codifies master file maintenance. Comprehensive NVRA-compliant statutory roll-maintenance criteria codified.

“If a voter placed in the inactive registration file does not vote by the second general election following the confirmation mailing, the registration shall be canceled.”

5 kap. 2 § codifies that 'Swedish citizens no longer registered as resident in the country shall be entered on the electoral roll for ten years from the day registration ended.' 5 kap. 3 § codifies EU-citizen criteria. 5 kap. 4 § codifies district assignment. 5 kap. 5 § codifies inter-state coordination. Comprehensive statutory roll-maintenance criteria codified.

“Svenska medborgare som inte längre är folkbokförda här i landet skall tas upp i röstlängd under tio år från den dag folkbokföringen upphörde.”

The statute explicitly enumerates all criteria for voter roll purge in codified law, including death, change of address, name change, conviction, and voter request. These criteria are set forth directly in statutory language rather than delegated to regulation or administrative discretion, and the section includes procedural safeguards (address verification program, confirmation notice, cure opportunities) that demonstrate statutory grounding of the removal process itself.

“The registration of a person shall be purged: At the request of the voter; Ninety (90) days after a change of name for any reason, except by marriage or divorce; If the voter dies; Upon receiving information that a person has been convicted of an infamous crime as defined by § 40-20-112 from the state coordinator of elections, the district attorney general, United States attorney, clerk of the court that entered the conviction, or other source upon verification by the clerk of the convicting court; or Upon written confirmation from the voter that the voter has changed the voter's address to an address outside the county of registration or has registered to vote in another jurisdiction.”

§ 18.068 codifies statutory roll-maintenance criteria: the secretary of state quarterly compares the statewide voter list against death records and jury-disqualification data to identify deceased, non-citizen and non-resident voters, with codified weak-match/strong-match safeguards to 'produce the least possible impact on Texas voters.' § 18.0681 codifies duplicate-record elimination and § 16.031 codifies the enumerated cancellation grounds (death, felony, mental incapacity, change of residence). Roll-maintenance criteria codified in statute.

Art. IV-32 codifies appeals against State Voter Register maintenance body decisions. Art. IV-28 codifies updated voter lists. Art. I-44 codifies amendment procedure. Art. I-63 codifies the general appeal-principle framework. Roll-maintenance criteria are statutorily codified through the State Voter Register law (referenced here).

This statute explicitly establishes the criteria for removal from the voter roll on grounds of change of residence, specifying two pathways (written confirmation or failure to vote and respond within defined timeframes) and requiring clear notice procedures. The section is comprehensive, setting forth statutory criteria rather than delegating to regulation or administrative discretion, and applies the dual-scholar test: both election reform advocates and election security proponents would recognize this as clear statutory procedure governing roll maintenance.

§ 2150 codifies the criteria and procedure for removing names from the checklist — change of residence (with notice to the former municipality), the confirmation-notice process, and other statutory grounds — and § 2152 codifies the division of the checklist into active and inactive sections, the inactive section holding only voters who failed to respond to the § 2150 notice. Statutory roll-maintenance criteria codified.

This statute enumerates explicit, exhaustive criteria for inactivity-based roll removal: a specific two-election timeline, defined actions that restore active status (address change, confirmation response, voting, transfer), and a bright-line rule for cancellation after the deadline. The criteria are set entirely in statute with no delegation to administrative discretion. Virginia Code § 24.2-428.2 is part of the Virginia Constitution-authorized electoral framework (Va. Const. Art. II, § 1), so the statutory grounding carries constitutional weight.

The statute explicitly sets forth the criteria for removing voters from rolls in three categories: inactivity (failure to respond or vote within two federal general election cycles), change of address, and death/out-of-state relocation. These removal triggers are statutorily defined with concrete procedural steps (change of address notification, response to confirmation notice, voting activity), leaving no room for administrative discretion. The rules are grounded in statute (RCW 29A.08.630) rather than regulation.

West Virginia Code § 3-2-27 provides statutorily-grounded, enumerated criteria for roll maintenance across multiple removal pathways: inactivity (non-response to confirmation notice by February 1); change of address; and loss of citizenship (upon DMV notification). Each criterion is defined in statute with specific triggering events and timelines, rather than delegated to administrative discretion. The procedure also includes a reactivation mechanism allowing inactive voters to restore active status upon application or voting.

This section establishes that voter inactivity is a statutory ground for removal (by reference to 'inactive' registrations), placing the criterion in statute rather than regulation. However, the section does not enumerate the specific criteria for inactivity, death, or change of address—it only references inactivity and directs to other statutory sections (AS 15.07.070) without spelling out the removal standards itself. The criterion is partially satisfied because the inactivity standard is grounded in statute, but the section lacks exhaustive enumeration of all removal grounds.

“The director shall prepare an official registration list for each election consisting of the names of (1) all voters whose registrations are not inactive; and (2) all voters whose names are required to be placed on the list by AS 15.07.070(c) or (d).”

Article 28 of the Código Electoral Nacional establishes in statute the specific criteria for voter roll removal: death, multiple registrations, and persons subject to statutory disqualifications. The procedure is grounded in statute (not regulation), enumerated (deceased, duplicates, ineligible), and includes a defined cure mechanism (summary verification and a hearing for the challenged elector before judicial resolution). The section provides clear statutory procedure for roll maintenance criteria.

The statute mandates removal/purging and requires notification (§ 7-5-903(a)(3)), grounding the removal procedure in statute. However, the section does not enumerate the specific criteria for removal (death, change of address, inactivity, etc.)—it only requires that removal occur and be notified, leaving the substantive criteria to regulation or administrative discretion. This satisfies the statutory-grounding element but fails the enumeration element.

“A person is removed or purged from a voter registration list”

Section 105 defines roll-maintenance criteria—removal of deceased electors, correction of errors, removal of duplicates, and address changes—directly in statute rather than delegating to regulation. The criteria for removal are enumerated, particularly death (§105(1)(c)) and address changes (§105(1)(h) and §105(2)). However, the section does not establish a defined cure procedure or formal appeal path for voters removed under these provisions, which limits the procedural completeness.

“the Electoral Commissioner may alter any Roll by: (a) correcting any mistake or omission in the particulars of the enrolment of an elector; (c) removing the name of any deceased elector; (d) striking out the superfluous entry where the name of the same elector appears more than once on the same Subdivision Roll; (e) reinstating any name removed by mistake as the name of a deceased elector; (f) where the Electoral Commissioner is satisfied that an objection against the enrolment of an elector whose name has been deleted from the Roll as a result of the objection was based on a mistake of fact and that the person objected to still retains and has continuously retained his or her right to the enrolment in respect of which the objection was made—reinstating on the Roll the name of the elector; (g) reinstating any other name removed by mistake; and (h) where the name of a street or any other part of an address that appears on the Roll is changed—substituting the new name or other part of the address for the name or other part of the address so appearing”

§ NRWO § 28 establishes a statutory remedy process (Berichtigungsanträge) allowing citizens to challenge the voter roll, but does not explicitly enumerate the substantive criteria for voter removal (death, change of address, inactivity). The statute grants authority to designated agencies (Amtsstellen) to receive and process corrections without specifying the underlying grounds. The section defines procedure (timing, submission, form requirements) rather than the removal criteria themselves; those grounds appear to be defined elsewhere in the statute or left to administrative practice.

Article 92 of the Electoral Code expressly enumerates the statutory criteria for voter roll removal: loss of Belgian nationality, removal from population registers (administrative erasure or departure abroad), and death. These grounds are set in statute, not delegated to regulation or administrative discretion. The section lacks constitutional-level grounding, warranting a score of 1 rather than 2.

The statute explicitly enumerates multiple voter roll-removal criteria: failure to vote in three consecutive elections (Art. 71, V), provisional detention (Art. 71, VI), and by reference in § 3, death reported by civil registry officials. These grounds are codified directly in the Electoral Code statute (Lei nº 4.737/1965 and amendments), not delegated to regulation. § 1 establishes that removal occurs automatically upon occurrence of enumerated causes and can be initiated ex officio or by party delegate. The procedure is statutorily grounded with enumerated criteria.

Чл. 38 codifies comprehensive criteria for the struck-off list: persons under interdict, persons serving prison sentence, persons registered at current address elsewhere, persons with vote-elsewhere certificates, persons in alternative lists, residents in non-EU countries (for EP elections), 6+ months abroad (for municipal). Statutory enumeration of strike-off criteria.

“Списъкът съдържа имената, единия граждански номер и основанието за заличаването”

§ 20 codifies that the voter roll is the population register and that the procedure for its maintenance is prescribed by law; the list-of-voters provisions enumerate the statutory exclusion criteria (custodial sentence, EU-member-state cross-registration). Criteria are statutory but not constitutionally enumerated.

“The procedure for maintenance of the population register is prescribed by law.”

The section is drawn from the Code électoral and references inscriptions (registrations) and radiations (removals) as statutory procedures under the special electoral roll. However, the text does not explicitly enumerate the substantive criteria triggering removal (death, change of address, inactivity). It delegates the mechanics of removal to an administrative commission but does not specify in this section what factual grounds justify removal, leaving those criteria potentially to be found elsewhere in statute or regulation.

“L'autorité municipale transmet les demandes et la liste mentionnées au premier alinéa à la commission administrative spéciale, qui procède aux inscriptions et aux radiations du 1er mars au 30 avril au plus tard.”

The statute explicitly sets criteria for removal from rolls, including change of address (Absatz 3) and disqualification (Absatz 3, Satz 5: disqualification from voting rights). The procedure mandates that the receiving municipality shall notify the sending municipality, which then strikes the voter from its roll, and the affected person must be informed. Removal criteria are statutorily grounded and enumerated; however, death is not explicitly addressed in this section, so coverage is not comprehensive for all standard roll-maintenance grounds.

“Verlegt ein Wahlberechtigter, der nach Absatz 1 in das Wählerverzeichnis eingetragen ist, seine Wohnung und meldet er sich vor Beginn der Einsichtsfrist für das Wählerverzeichnis (§ 17 Abs. 1 Satz 2 des Bundeswahlgesetzes) bei der Meldebehörde des Zuzugsortes an, so wird er in das Wählerverzeichnis des Wahlbezirks des Zuzugsortes nur auf Antrag eingetragen. Ein nach Absatz 1 in das Wählerverzeichnis eingetragener Wahlberechtigter, der sich innerhalb derselben Gemeinde für eine Wohnung anmeldet, die im selben Wahlkreis liegt, bleibt in dem Wählerverzeichnis des Wahlbezirks eingetragen, für den er am Stichtag gemeldet war.”

ΠΔ 26/2012 Άρθρο 27 codifies special electoral rolls for military, police, and fire personnel. Άρθρο 13 (criminal disqualification), Άρθρο 14 (correction), Άρθρο 20 (consolidation) together codify roll-maintenance criteria.

The statute establishes that voter registration status is tied to residence in the Central Population Register and sets a 2-year validity period for registration decisions (§ 24, stk. 2), creating a statutory framework for roll maintenance. However, the statute does not explicitly enumerate the specific grounds for removal (death, address change, inactivity) — it delegates detailed implementation to Naalakkersuisut (the executive) through regulations (stk. 5). The criterion is partially satisfied: the core mechanism and time-based maintenance are statutory, but the specific removal criteria rely on regulatory elaboration.

The statute explicitly enumerates the criteria for electoral register corrections, including death (§b), change of domicile address (§a), and loss of citizenship (§c). These are the key roll-maintenance grounds specified in statutory form with clear enumeration, not left to regulation or administrative discretion. No constitutional grounding is evident, so the score is 1 rather than 2.

The section defines the inactivity criterion for removal from the voter roll directly in statute: cancellation after four years of non-voting. The standard is enumerated explicitly and grounded in statutory law, not delegated to regulation or administrative discretion. No constitutional provision is cited, so the score is 1 rather than 2.

“the county clerk shall immediately cancel the registration of any elector who did not vote at any election in the past four (4) years”

10 ILCS 5/4-14.1 codifies systematic cancellation of deceased voters' registrations via Vital Records Act electronic reporting + monthly county-clerk review. § 4-16 (cancellation grounds) and § 4-17 (4-year inactive notice) round out roll-maintenance criteria.

“Cancelation of deceased voter's registration”

This statutory section explicitly defines roll-maintenance procedures in statute, including the authority's duty to make inquiries, the methods by which they may do so, and the specific information (address, date of birth, personal public service number) that can be required. The text also references section 20 and section 15E, indicating statutory integration of removal criteria. However, the actual substantive grounds for removal (death, inactivity thresholds) are not fully enumerated in this excerpt; the criterion addresses removal criteria, not just maintenance procedures.

“In order to maintain and update the register, in accordance with section 20, each registration authority shall make sufficient inquiries in their registration area in accordance with this Rule. (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), each registration authority may do any one or more of the following: (a) conduct house to house inquiries; (b) by means of public notice or public meeting, invite persons to check, submit or update their details, as the case may be; (c) undertake any other activity the authority considers appropriate to gather such information or invite individuals to participate in the gathering of such information. (3) A registration authority may, for the purposes of its duties in relation to the maintenance and updating of the register require a person— (a) to provide any information in his or her possession which the registration authority may require, (b) without prejudice to the generality of subparagraph (a), to provide in respect of his or her own registration— (i) a personal public service number, if a person has one, (ii) address and Eircode, in respect of his or her address, and (iii) his or her date of birth”

This statute defines the removal criterion (noncitizenship) in statutory language, specifies the trigger (comparison of DMV noncitizen lists), establishes a clear timeline (five business days), and requires an investigation before removal. The procedure is set in statute rather than delegated to regulation or administrative discretion. However, the statute does not establish a cure procedure or appeal mechanism that would allow a removed person to challenge the removal decision before it takes effect.

“The secretary of state shall compare such lists with the voter registration rolls and, after an investigation, direct the county election officer to remove within five business days any names of noncitizens that appear on the voter rolls.”

§ 32 codifies the roll-maintenance criteria in statute — transfers between voter lists, additions and removals — driven by changes in the Population Register; statutory (level 1).

“Preliminary voter lists shall be updated when transferring a voter from one voter list of a constituency or a polling district into another”

Maine statute explicitly enumerates removal criteria in § 161(2-A): inactivity is prohibited as sole grounds; cancellation is permitted only for dual registration in another jurisdiction (in-state or out-of-state). The statute also addresses deceased voters and proof-of-qualification hearings. These core removal standards are set directly in statute, not delegated to regulation, satisfying the criterion.

Article 38 confirms statutory authority for cancellation (by reference to article 24) and establishes an appeal right to a Revising Officer, meeting the statutory grounding requirement. However, the section does not enumerate the substantive grounds for removal (death, change of address, inactivity, etc.)—it only references article 24 without stating those criteria. The actual removal criteria remain undefined in this excerpt.

“Any person whose registration as a voter is cancelled from the Electoral Register by virtue of the power vested in the Commission in terms of article 24 shall have the right to appeal to a Revising Officer.”

The statute explicitly defines the criteria and procedure for placing and removing voters from an inactive voters list: 2 consecutive years without voting triggers placement, and removal requires failure to vote in 2 consecutive biennial state elections plus mailed notification. The criteria and procedural steps are set by statute rather than left to administrative discretion or regulation.

“The name and address of a voter that is not entered in the annual register pursuant to section 37 for 2 consecutive years and who during that time fails to vote in any election shall be maintained on an inactive voters list until such voter has failed to vote in two consecutive biennial state elections and has thereafter been notified, by mail, of such removal from the inactive voters list.”

The statute defines death-based roll-maintenance criteria and procedures in statute (not regulation). This addresses the death criterion specifically; combined with other statutory provisions for address/inactivity, it grounds removal criteria at the statutory level, meriting a score of 1.

The statute identifies death, change of address, and disenfranchising convictions as removal criteria that county officials must receive reports about, establishing these grounds statutorily. However, the section does not define the specific procedures, timelines, or standards for actual removal based on these criteria—it only requires notification to registrars. The substantive removal procedures appear to be left to regulation (subsection 4 allows the Secretary of State to adopt rules necessary to administer the system).

The statute defines change-of-address criteria in Article 61(8) with a specific procedural requirement (30-day advance notice). However, the section provides no statutory criteria for removal due to death or inactivity; these appear to be delegated to the Central Electoral Commission's regulation on State Registry of Voters. The statute addresses one removal ground (address change) but leaves death and inactivity management to administrative regulation.

§ 13-2-402 enumerates the roll-removal criteria in statute — written request, death, adjudicated unsound mind, felony incarceration, court order, registration elsewhere, and failure to respond to confirmation mailings followed by two missed federal general elections. Statutory; level 1.

“The election administrator shall cancel the registration of an elector if:”

This statutory provision explicitly defines removal criteria in the Kieswet itself: removal occurs on the voter's request or when municipal authorities become aware of circumstances disqualifying the person from voter registration. The criteria are statutorily enumerated rather than delegated to regulation or administrative discretion, though the provision does grant some interpretive discretion to 'Burgemeester en wethouders' in determining what circumstances trigger removal.

“Burgemeester en wethouders schrappen de registratie van de kiesgerechtigdheid van de als kiezer geregistreerde niet-Nederlander die onderdaan is van een andere lidstaat: a. op verzoek van betrokkene; b. indien aan hen omstandigheden bekend worden op grond waarvan de desbetreffende persoon niet als kiezer behoort te zijn geregistreerd.”

This statute explicitly defines the procedural criteria for removing voters from the roll due to death: it specifies the 30-day letter requirement, the mechanism for response, the timeline for removal absent response, and the confirmation process. The rule is grounded in statute (N.H. Rev. Stat. § 654:37-a), not delegated to regulation or administrative discretion.

“If the supervisors of the checklist learn of the death of a voter but do not receive notice as outlined in RSA 654:37, they shall mail to the last known address of the voter a 30-day letter specifically for updating the checklist upon the death of a voter. Such letter shall include the contact information for the supervisors of the checklist to which a response may be sent. If there is no response within 30 days, the supervisors will remove that voter's name from the checklist. If there is a response confirming the death within 30 days, the supervisors may remove the voter's name upon receipt of the confirmation of death.”

This statute defines removal criteria (change of address within state, move to another state, voter request) directly in statute rather than delegating to regulation, satisfying the statutory grounding element. However, the criterion asks about death and inactivity—two common roll-maintenance triggers—neither of which is addressed in this section. The section covers only address-change and voter-initiated cancellation, making it an incomplete treatment of the full roll-maintenance landscape.

ORC 3503.15 codifies the statewide voter registration database with retention rules ('canceled voter registration records for not less than five years').

“Safeguards and components to ensure that the integrity, security”

The statute defines one specific criterion for inactivity—failure to cure a signature mismatch challenge within 21 days—in clear statutory language. However, this section addresses only one narrow basis for inactivity (signature mismatch cure failure), not the full range of roll-maintenance criteria (death, change of address, general inactivity). The section also delegates implementation details (certified statement forms) to administrative design by the Secretary of State. Score 1 reflects statutory grounding of at least one removal criterion, though the criterion is incomplete relative to the full spectrum of roll-maintenance grounds.

§ 1901 codifies enumerated removal criteria (request, death under § 1505, residence change outside county, NVRA-compliant voter removal program). Statutory grounding for roll maintenance. No constitutional grounding visible — score 1 (statute only).

“Commissions shall institute a program to protect the integrity of the electoral process”

The statute establishes ONE removal criterion (deprivation of voting rights by court or Constitutional Tribunal order) and the reinstatement mechanism. However, the statute does not enumerate removal criteria for death, change of address, or inactivity—those procedural details are explicitly delegated to ministerial regulation (§3). The criterion is partially satisfied because statutory grounds exist for one category of removal, but the full scope of roll-maintenance removal criteria are left to regulatory determination.

The statute statutorily mandates removal of duplicate registrations and defines one removal criterion (duplicate registration) in statute. However, the section does not address the other removal criteria specified in the criterion (death, change of address, inactivity), nor does it enumerate detailed procedures for those removals—those appear to be left to regulations adopted by the secretary of state. The procedure for duplicate removal is statutorily grounded but the broader roll-maintenance criteria are not fully addressed.

“The local board of canvassers of each city or town shall review their voter registration files on a quarterly basis in accordance with regulations adopted by the secretary of state for the purpose of removing duplicate voter registrations in the central voter registration system for any voter registered in their city or town.”

Art. 24 codifies the Electoral Register as 'un sistem informatic național' of voter identification, with statutory objectives: data registration/update, voter-section arrondment, permanent list generation, list updates. Statutory grounding for roll maintenance — but constitutional grounding (Art. 36) not in REG.5 candidates.

“Registrul electoral este un sistem informatic național”

Article 75 (Appeal of decisions) governs the framework. Article 77 (Cancellation of voting results) extends to administrative annulments. Roll-maintenance criteria partially codified via the appeals framework, but specific death/address/inactivity removal criteria live in GAS Vybory operating rules (Article 74).

The statute establishes a clear procedure for voluntary deregistration initiated by the voter and mandates removal upon application. However, the section does not address involuntary removal criteria such as death, change of address, or inactivity—it covers only applicant-initiated deregistration. The phrase 'in the prescribed manner' delegates procedural details to regulation. The criterion asks about removal criteria generally, which are only partially addressed here (voluntary removal only).

The statute establishes a mandatory procedural mechanism—monthly communication from civil registers to electoral census authorities—for maintaining the electoral roll based on circumstances affecting eligibility. However, the section does not enumerate the specific criteria (death, change of address, inactivity) for removal; it delegates the definition of which 'circunstancias' trigger removal to administrative judgment or other statutory provisions not quoted here. The statutory procedural requirement is clear, but the substantive removal criteria are not exhaustively defined in this section.

“Los encargados del Registro Civil comunicarán mensualmente a las Delegaciones Provinciales de la Oficina del Censo Electoral cualquier circunstancia que pueda afectar a las inscripciones en el censo electoral.”

Law 298 Article 33 codifies maintenance criteria in statute: annual reconstruction with notations for changes in name, age, gender, loss of suffrage capacity (kısıtlanma, kamu hizmetinden yasaklanma), restoration, denationalization, renaturalization, death, and address changes within and outside the district. Statute level (not constitutional framing).

52 USC § 20507 codifies the NVRA roll-maintenance criteria: removal only by (A) request, (B) state law for criminal conviction or mental incapacity, (C) general program for death/residence-change. Federal statutory floor for roll maintenance.

The statute statutorily grounds removal of deceased voters through mandatory inter-agency data matching, satisfying the statutory requirement for at least one roll-maintenance criterion (death). However, the section does not address removal for change of address or inactivity, which are core roll-maintenance criteria. The statute specifies the death-removal procedure clearly but is incomplete regarding the full scope of roll-maintenance grounds.

“The secretary of state and the director of the department of health shall enter into an agreement to match information in the voter registration system with death records in the office of vital records services within the department of health in order to remove names of deceased individuals from voter registration lists”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 45 covers commission-member removal — wrong target. Roll-maintenance criteria (death, change of address) live in the AM Population Register and Article 11 of the Electoral Code, not surfaced.

Article 70 (cancellation of nominations) — not voter-roll maintenance. Article 65 (candidate-by-signature). Article 64 (deputies-by-collective). Article 61 (presidential nomination). Article 87 (repeat elections). Voter-roll maintenance criteria live in Article 19-21 (some surfaced) and Civil Status Acts (separate instrument).

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section concerns ballot paper design, printing, delivery, and security—not voter roll maintenance. It contains no provisions defining criteria for removing voters from registration rolls due to death, change of address, or inactivity. The criterion REG.5 is inapplicable to Article 37.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: FTS surfaced vote-counting provisions; the criteria for maintaining the voter roll sit in Latvia's separate Electoral Register Law, outside this election-act corpus.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section addresses voting procedure and timing at polling places, not voter roll maintenance or removal criteria. It contains no statutory definition of grounds for removing voters from registration rolls (death, change of address, inactivity, etc.). The criterion requires evaluation of removal criteria, which are entirely absent from this section.

No matching sections in corpus.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: Article 13.º addresses the number and distribution of deputies among electoral districts using the d'Hondt method and publication timelines. It contains no provisions regarding voter roll maintenance, removal criteria, or any related administrative procedures. This section is entirely focused on apportionment of legislative seats, not registration or roll management.

No candidate sections returned by FTS.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: This section governs polling-station conduct and removal of disruptive persons during voting, not voter-roll maintenance or removal criteria. It contains no statutory definition of criteria for removing voters from electoral rolls (death, change of address, inactivity). The criterion asks whether roll-maintenance removal criteria are set in statute; this section is procedurally unrelated to that topic.

§ 7.15 establishes municipal clerk supervisory role. Roll-maintenance criteria (§ 6.50 inactive-voter purge) live in Ch. 6.
