retained on the rolls.

the need to clean up the voter rolls. Ms. Clark stated further that tax payer's money is
wasted in the mailing of ballots incorrectly. Ms. Clark referred to the Implementing the
National Voter Registration Act of 1993 notebook that she received from Congressman
Martinez and that her objection to the motor voter act is that a voter has apparently had to
have not voted in two federal elections before being dropped from the rolls, which would total
ten years. Ms. Clark stated further that she is in favor of making complaince of the Voter
Registration Act by each state voluntary.
Mayor Pro Tern Taylor stated that though compliance may be voluntary, it is not
uniform for a national election. Mr. Taylor stated further that he is in favor of repealing the
motor voter registration portion of the bill as a beginning.
MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM TAYLOR, SECOND BY COUNCILMEMBER IMPERIAL
that the Council support the repeal of H.R. 370 with the primary objection being the motor
voter registration requirements.

start in the right direction.
