  “(4)  MINIMUM  STANDARD  FOR  ACCURACY  OF  STATE 
VOTER  REGISTRATION  RECORDS.—The  State  election  sys-
tem shall include provisions to ensure that voter registra-
tion  records  in  the  State  are  accurate  and  are  updated 
regularly, including the following: 
  “(A) A system of file maintenance that makes a reason- 
able effort to remove registrants who are ineligible to vote 
from the official list of eligible voters. Under such system, 
consistent  with  the  National  Voter  Registration  Act  of 
1993 (42 U.S.C. 1973gg et seq.), registrants who have not 
responded to a notice and who have not voted in 2 consec-
utive general elections for Federal office shall be removed 
from the official list of eligible voters, except that no regis-
trant may be removed solely by reason of a failure to vote. 
  “(B)  Safeguards  to  ensure  that  eligible  voters  are  not 
removed  in  error  from  the  official  list  of  eligible  voters.”
