Requires each certificate of death to also be filed with the board of elections for the county in which the registrar is appointed and to mail a copy of the death certificate to the department of health and the board of elections in the county in which the person resided at the time of death.

This bill requires that when a person dies, their death certificate must be filed with the local board of elections, as well as sent to the Department of Health and the board of elections in the county where the deceased lived. This aims to ensure accurate voter registration records by updating the status of deceased individuals. It involves coordination between local registrars, health departments, and election boards.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will help maintain the integrity of voter registration lists by promptly removing deceased individuals. This measure is seen as a proactive step toward preventing voter fraud and ensuring that elections are fair and accurate. By streamlining the process of reporting deaths, it also enhances communication between health and election authorities.

Critics may argue that this bill could create additional bureaucratic processes that may not significantly improve voter registration accuracy. They might express concerns about the privacy of deceased individuals and the handling of sensitive information. Additionally, there could be fears that the bill may lead to unnecessary complications for grieving families during a difficult time.
