On what schedule must clerks send copies of the list of excused or disqualified due to non-residence to the voter registrar?

• A. On the first business day of each quarter
• B. On the third business day of each month
• C. On the last day of each month
• D. Upon request

Answer: (B)

Regular, timely communication of residency changes is essential so the voter rolls stay accurate and the registrar has current information for elections. The correct schedule is to send copies on the third business day of each month. This creates a consistent monthly cadence that fits with ongoing administrative workflows, ensuring updates aren’t delayed by month-end processing or by waiting for someone to request the information. It also accounts for weekends and holidays, providing a clear, predictable deadline that keeps the registrar informed in time to reflect changes in upcoming ballots.

Choosing the first business day of a quarter would make updates too infrequent, risking outdated records. The last day of the month can be variable and delay the registrar’s ability to process changes. Reporting only upon request places the burden on someone to initiate the request and can lead to gaps in the rolls.
