The previous Permanent Early Voting list has changed to the Active Early Voting List. The Legislature terminated PEVL (Permanent Early Voting List) in 2021.

People who were on the Permanent Early Voting List must vote by mail in at least one primary, general, or municipal election within two consecutive election cycles (starting after the 2022 election cycle), to stay on the new Active Early Voting List. If they do not, they will receive a notice from their county recorder, inquiring if they would like to remain on the list. If they don’t react within 90 days, they will be removed permanently from the voter’s list.

The first Active Early Voting List (AEVL) removal notices are planned to be sent by Jan. 15, 2027, to AEVL voters who will not vote in any eligible elections in the 2024 and 2026 election cycles, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.
