    AI summary This amendment makes several changes to election rules, such as requiring a voter's four-digit identification number on written requests to verify absentee ballots and changing the time period for preserving ballots from six months to twenty-two months. It also updates the process for notifying officials when a voter's registration becomes inactive and allows for the use of certified electronic poll books. Additionally, it clarifies that certain candidate disqualification statements do not apply to federal candidates and allows the state commissioner to issue guidance and directives that are not subject to the formal rulemaking process.
