AN ACT to allow voters to report changes of address by fax.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  G.S. 163‑82.15(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	Registrant's Duty to Report. – No registered voter shall be required to re‑register upon moving from one precinct to another within the same county. Instead, a registrant shall notify the county board of the change of address by the close of registration for an election as set out in G.S. 163‑82.6(c). In addition to any other method allowed by G.S. 163-82.6, the form may be submitted by electronic facsimile, under the same deadlines as if it had been submitted in person. The registrant shall make the notification by means of a voter registration form as described in G.S. 163‑82.3, or by another written notice, signed by the registrant, that includes the registrant's full name, former residence address, new residence address, and date of moving from the old to the new address."
SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective January 1, 2002.
