The Election Assistance Commission shall conduct a study of instances of the misidentification by election officials of the political party registration of individuals attempting to vote in primary elections for Federal office, including an analysis of the frequency of such misidentification among various jurisdictions. The Election Assistance Commission shall conduct a study of instances in which States carry out purges of the official voter registration list or implement similar use it or lose it policies which automatically remove individuals who fail to vote from the official voter registration list.
Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Commission shall submit to Congress a report on the studies conducted under subsection (a), and shall include in the report such recommendations as the Commission considers appropriate— to prevent and respond to the misidentification of an individual’s political party registration, including recommendations to permit individuals to correct their political party registration at the polling place on the date of voting; and to respond to purges of official voter registration lists, including recommendations for notifying a registrant when a State initiates a process to remove the registrant from the list and providing instructions on how the registrant may renew the registrant’s registration.
