What does CONDITIONS FOR REMOVAL OF VOTERS FROM LIST OF REGISTERED of Voter Purge Protection Act do?

This section amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to establish conditions for removing voters from official lists. A state may only remove a registrant if it verifies, based on objective and reliable evidence, that the registrant is ineligible to vote. Factors such as failure to vote, failure to respond to notices (unless undeliverable), or failure to take other actions related to voting are not considered objective and reliable evidence of ineligibility. States must notify former registrants within 48 hours of removal, including the grounds for removal and reinstatement information. Exceptions to the 48-hour notice requirement exist for registrants who confirm ineligibility or are removed due to death. States must also provide public notice of list maintenance activities, allowing registrants to check their status. States may not transmit notices of residence change unless they have objective and reliable evidence of the change. Section 8(a) and (4) of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 are amended to incorporate section 8A.
