Dialog Help
To access: VOTER REGISTRATION > Voter Registration > {voter} > Vote-by-Mail > Early In office Vote > Address Change
On this dialog you can update a voter's residential and mailing addresses. You can also change the military setting for the voter. if you entered this dialog via Record Correspondence from Voter, you can make a minor name change for the voter, such as the correction of a typo or replacement of their nickname by their full name.
It's important to make any changes before you issue the voter a vote-by-mail or early-voting ballot.
Note When updating the mailing address, avoid putting anything in the Country field other than the name of a foreign country, because any entry in this field will automatically make the voter an overseas voter. Do not use, for example, the county name.
If you are changing the residential address, enter the changes and then click Edit Address to verify the new address.
If no message appears, the address is valid.
If the address cannot be validated against the list of valid street segments in your county, the message:
Invalid address - Do you want Street Lookup?
will appear. You should then perform a street search to verify that you have the correct mailing city and other address components. Voter Focus will enter the correct zip code, if you haven't already entered it.
If you changed the County field and the address in the voter's new county cannot be validated by FVRS, the message:
Invalid Address
will appear. Click Cancel to abandon the address change. See About Third-Party Address Changes for more information.
Click Fix Residence City/Zip after entering a new residence street address. This will verify the street segment and enter a new city/zip, if necessary. It also verifies the voters district and precinct assignments.
Click OK to save the new address. Clicking Cancel abandons any changes you made.
