If the address stated by the voter does not match the voter list, but is within the county of registration, an election official must determine whether the voter is still eligible to vote based on the previous address or is now qualified to vote based on the current address. Removal from one precinct to another in this state shall not operate to deprive any person of the right to vote in the precinct from which the person has removed until 30 days after the person's removal.
If a registrant has moved from an address in one precinct to an address in another precinct within the same county, and the move was more than 30 days before the election, but the voter failed to notify the county board of the change of address before the close of registration for that election, an election official shall permit that person to vote in the election, under the following guidance:
If the registrant appears at the old precinct, precinct officials there shall explain that if the voter desires to vote the ballot containing all of the contests for which he is entitled to vote, he may go:
to the new precinct or, if the voter prefers,
to the central precinct.
The election officials should complete a voter transfer and then direct the voter to their new precinct or a central precinct so that the voter may vote their proper ballot. If the voter does not wish to go to their new precinct or a central precinct, then the election official at the old precinct must offer the voter a provisional ballot. In this case, the county boards of elections will only be able to count the individual's provisional official ballot for all ballot items on which it determines that the individual was eligible under state or federal law to vote.
If the voter presents to the new precinct with a transfer from the old precinct, then the election official should process the transferred voter as a regular voter and permit the voter to cast a regular ballot. If the voter presents to the new precinct without a signed transfer from the old precinct, the election official must determine if the voter can be transferred into the new precinct (the person is registered to vote in the county and has not voted in the election). If the voter can be transferred, then upon the voter’s written affirmation of the new address, the official shall permit the registrant to cast a regular ballot.
