Amends the Election Code. Requires a county clerk or board of election commissioners to cross-check each voter registration roll with the national Change of Address System information gathered by the United States Postal Service to determine if the changed address of each person who has filed a change of address has resulted in the removal of that person from the voting precinct or voting election district in which he or she was enrolled as a voter. Requires the county clerk or board of election commissioners to automatically remove, from each voter registration roll that contains a self-removed person's former address, that person from the voter roll of his or her former precinct or former election district.
