House Bill 536 amends the Election Code to establish that the submission of a federal postcard application for voting constitutes an application for registration to vote at the voting residence address stated on the application unless the application indicates that the person is residing outside the United States indefinitely, and to require the secretary of state to prescribe rules to implement this provision. The bill removes a provision specifying that the submission of such an application constitutes registration for each election that occurs on or before the date of the second general election for state and county officers that occurs after the date the application is submitted.
