County auditors must now submit annual reports to the Secretary of State and State Board of Elections detailing how many voters were removed from registration lists and why (due to inactivity, death, felony conviction, mental incompetence, or relocation), with these reports made available to the public. The bill also clarifies that when voters update their registration due to a name change or move, their previous party affiliation carries over unless they explicitly choose a different one, while first-time voters who don't specify a party are automatically registered as independent.
