BY GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE-John E. Olsen, Chairperson
RE z SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILL 4901, PROVIDING FOR REDUCTION OF
VOTER REGISTRATION LISTS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen
WHEREAS, the buiup of the number of inactive voters in voter registration
lists is an on-going problem for County Clerks and all other election officials; and
WHEREAS, no suitable solution to this problem has, as yet, been enacted
as an amendment to the Michigan Election Law; and
WHEREAS, House Bill 4901, which is supported by Oakland County Clerk
Lynn D. Alien, seems to provide a solution to this long-standing problem of unwieldy
voter registration lists by authorizing clerks to consider four years of inactivity as
reliable information that the voter has moved from the municipality; and
WHEREAS, House Bill 4901 further provides that a clerk shall then notify
such a voter by mail that he or she must apply for continuation of registration within
thirty (30) days or else the registration shall be cancelled.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners go on record as supporting House Bill 4901.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all
state legislators from Oakland County and to the legislative agent.
Mr.. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen, I move the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
