It’s up to us to clean out voter logs!
A founder of Engage The Right was shocked to discover that after moving out of state nearly 7 years ago, she was still listed in 2018 as an active registered voter in a critical swing state (OHIO).
The Ohio Board of Elections website has a form to fill out and mail in to be removed from the voting logs. In less than 10 minutes, she was able to fill out the information from home, mail it in, and in 2 weeks received a post card from them that she was removed from the voter logs.
It was also discovered that a family member who had been deceased for over a year was still listed as an active registered voter in another critical swing state (FLORIDA).
Family members were able to find a contact person on the Florida Board of Elections website and by email have the deceased family member removed.
If you find you are listed as a registered or active voter in a state where you no longer reside, take the necessary steps and get REMOVED immediately.
It is easy to be proactive and to help clean up voter logs!
Have you moved out of state in the past 10 years? Do you know of a family member who is now deceased and was an active voter?
Below is a list of all 50 states and the state’s Board of Elections information. Although states may operate differently, most allow you to look up to see if you are still an active registered voter.
If you have moved out of state in the past 10 years, take a few minutes and go to the site and insert your information. By knowing a deceased family member’s birthday, one can also double check to make sure that their name is no longer on the voting logs.
