§ 168.759ePermanent mail ballot voters; rescission; notification

Sec. 759e.
    (1) Each city and township clerk shall determine who that clerk's permanent mail ballot
 voters are and shall maintain and track those permanent mail ballot voters through the
 qualified voter file. Any registered elector may become a permanent mail ballot voter. A
 permanent mail ballot voter must be issued an absent voter ballot for every election. Each city
 and township clerk shall also issue an absent voter ballot application to any elector who
 requests an absent voter ballot application.
    (2) Once an elector's absent voter ballot application for all future elections has been
 verified, the elector becomes a permanent mail ballot voter and the elector must be sent an
 absent voter ballot before each election unless the application is rescinded.
    (3) An absent voter ballot application for all future elections can be rescinded only for any
 of the following reasons:
    (a) The permanent mail ballot voter submits a signed request to rescind the voter's
 application to receive an absent voter ballot by mail for all future elections.
    (b) The permanent mail ballot voter is no longer qualified to vote in this state.
    (c) The secretary of state or the appropriate city or township clerk receives reliable
 information that the permanent mail ballot voter has moved the voter's residence to another
 state, or has moved the voter's residence within this state without updating the voter's
 registration address.
    (d) The permanent mail ballot voter does not vote for 6 consecutive years.
    (4) The secretary of state or the appropriate city or township clerk shall rescind the absent
 voter ballot application for all future elections for a permanent mail ballot voter if the
 secretary of state or the appropriate city or township clerk receives reliable information that
 the permanent mail ballot voter meets 1 or more of the reasons described in subsection (3).
    (5) If an absent voter ballot application for all future elections is rescinded under subsection
 (3)(d), the city or township clerk shall send the elector a notice informing the elector that the
 elector's absent voter ballot application for all future elections has been rescinded because the
 elector did not vote for 6 consecutive years.
    (6) A permanent mail ballot voter who changes the voter's residence in this state and updates
 the voter's registration address, or who has the voter's registration address updated, continues
 to be a permanent mail ballot voter and the voter's absent voter ballot must be sent to the
 voter's current registration address until another address is designated by the permanent mail
 ballot voter.
