(3)

Any registered elector whose registration record is marked “Inactive” is eligible to vote in any election where registration is required if the elector meets all other requirements.

The elector updates his or her registration information; or

(b)

The elector votes in an election conducted by a county clerk and recorder or an election for which the registration information has been provided to the clerk and recorder; or
(c)(Deleted by amendment, L. 2013.)(d) The elector completes, signs, and returns a confirmation card or change of address card.

(5)

If an active elector’s mail ballot is returned to the county clerk and recorder by the United States postal service as undeliverable, the county clerk and recorder shall mark the elector’s registration record “Inactive” and send to the elector a confirmation card by which the elector may verify or correct the address information. If the elector verifies that he or she has moved within the state, the county clerk and recorder shall forward the address information to the county clerk and recorder of the county in which the voter resides to update the elector’s registration record with the new address. If the elector verifies that he or she has moved outside the state, the county clerk and recorder shall cancel the elector’s registration record. If the elector fails to respond, the county clerk and recorder shall leave the registration record of that elector marked “Inactive”.
(6)(Deleted by amendment, L. 2013.)(7) If an elector whose registration record is marked “Inactive” fails to update his or her registration record, fails to respond to any confirmation card, and fails to vote in any election conducted by the county clerk and recorder during the time period that includes two consecutive general elections since the elector’s registration record was marked “Inactive”, the county clerk and recorder shall cancel the elector’s registration record.
