HB 2226 - DIGEST

Provides that the registration of a person who registered to vote before July 1, 2005, is moved to inactive status on July 1, 2007. That person must reregister in order to vote anything other than a provisional ballot at an election held after that date. The registration of a person who first registers to vote or reregisters after June 30, 2005, continues to be valid after July 1, 2007, unless canceled or inactivated as otherwise provided by law.

Provides that, in order to vote at any election or primary, whether at a polling place or by absentee or mail ballot, a person must have registered to vote at least thirty days before the election or primary, regardless of the person's status as an absentee, mail ballot, out-of-state, overseas, or service voter.

Repeals RCW 29A.08.145 and 29A.08.230.
