§ 2033 Voter Address Change Notification

This law says that if a voter moves to a new house number or address but stays in the same home, the agency that handles the move must tell the county elections office, and the elections office updates the voter's registration without needing a new form.

Key Takeaways

  • •No new affidavit is needed when only the address number changes.
  • •The change must be reported in writing by the agency handling the move.
  • •The county elections office updates the voter's record directly.

Example

A voter moves from 123 Main St to 125 Main St but still lives in the same house.

The moving company or landlord must send a written notice to the county elections office about the address change. The elections office updates the voter's registration automatically and does not ask the voter to fill out a new affidavit.
