ARM 44.9.315. INACTIVE ELECTORS IN MAIL BALLOT ELECTIONS

(1) Inactive electors are not provided with mail ballots unless they reactivate under the following procedures: (a) If an inactive elector requests a ballot, or mails in or brings in a voter registration card (or other document listing the elector's current residence address, including but not limited to a reactivation form) before the ballots are mailed, election officials must change the elector's status in the statewide voter registration database to "Active" and send the elector a ballot on the same date as all other mail ballots are mailed. (b) If an inactive elector requests a ballot, or mails in or brings in a voter registration card (or other document listing the elector's current residence address, including but not limited to a reactivation form) after the day on which the ballots were mailed, election officials must change the elector's status in the statewide voter registration database to "Active" and provide the elector with a ballot in person or by mail. (c) In neither (1)(a) or (b) is it necessary for an election official to require the elector to fill out a form under 13-19-305, MCA, since the elector, by following 13-2-222, MCA, is activating the elector's registration and is therefore automatically eligible for a ballot.
