201.12 PROPER REGISTRATION; VERIFICATION BY MAIL; CHALLENGES.
    Subdivision 1. Notice of registration. To prevent fraudulent voting and to eliminate excess
names, the county auditor may mail to any registered voter a notice stating the voter's name and
address as they appear in the registration files. The notice shall request the voter to notify the
county auditor if there is any mistake in the information.
    Subd. 2. Challenges. Upon return of any nonforwardable mailing from an election official,
the county auditor or the auditor's staff shall ascertain the name and address of that individual. If
the individual is no longer at the address recorded in the statewide registration system, the county
auditor shall change the registrant's status to "challenged" in the statewide registration system. An
individual challenged in accordance with this subdivision shall comply with the provisions of
section 204C.12, before being allowed to vote. If a notice mailed at least 60 days after the return
of the first nonforwardable mailing is also returned by the postal service, the county auditor shall
change the registrant's status to "inactive" in the statewide registration system.
