(2) It shall be the duty of an elector who moves his or her residence within the county where he or she is registered to vote to surrender his or her Alabama photo voter identification card to the local Board of Registrars.

Issuance of the prior Alabama photo voter identification card shall establish prima facie that the person is qualified to receive a new Alabama photo voter identification card without being required to provide any documentation of full legal name and date of birth.

(4) It shall be the duty of a person who moves his or her residence outside this state or who ceases to be qualified to vote to surrender his or her Alabama photo voter identification card to the Secretary of State.
