 +As of May 2022, the Secretary of State's Office advised that libraries must report numbers for those registering to vote and those declining - whether or not these reports are submitted with voter registration forms - using the Agency Recap Form furnished by the Secretary of State’s Office (right-click the link to save a local copy of the form):

 +  * **{{ :circ:accounts:agency_weekly_registration_recap_form.pdf |Weekly Agency Recap Form}}** 
 + 
 +These numbers should be reported weekly, except in the period beginning 15 days prior to the registration deadlines when they must be reported daily. If you have no registrations or declinations to report for the week, you do not need to send in a recap form. When reporting weekly, the recap forms can be sent on Mondays for the previous week. There are two options for reporting this information
