HB 1962 — Improving voter registration list accuracy by improving voter address change processes for county election offices and voters.

What this bill does

Makes the methods of transferring a voter registration address that are currently only available to persons moving within a county available to all registered voters. Directs county auditors to notify the county auditor in a voter's new Washington county of residence rather than canceling the registration or placing the voter on inactive status. Requires county auditors receiving notice of a voter who has moved from another Washington county to update the address and send the voter an acknowledgement notice. Removes the requirement that a voter must reregister to vote when moving from one county to another within Washington.
