In early June, Secretary of State Frank LaRose released a list of almost 160,000 inactive Ohioan voters who are set to be removed from the Statewide Voter Registration Database in a purge. Individuals on the list had until July 22 to contact their local board of election to be removed from the list.
“These registrations are eligible for removal under the law because records show they’re no longer residing or active at the registered address for at least the last four consecutive years,” LaRose said in a statement. Voters can be removed from their county’s voter registration if they filled out a change-of-address form or if they have an inactive registration after four years.
“States have to do maintenance of their voter rolls; states can’t allow the voter rolls to just keep expanding and expanding without doing any maintenance,” said Bishop Chui, the executive director of non-partisan grassroots organization Northeast Ohio Voter Advocates, also known as NOVA. “Oftentimes people who are houseless kind of get lost in the system and we don’t know where they are for a period of time. Maybe they were arrested in their county, they went to stay with a relative in another city. In some cases, they passed away,” Chui said.
