Georgia releases names of over 100K people at risk of having voter registration canceled [View all]

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) on Friday publicized the names of more than 100,000 people who could have their voter registration canceled.

Raffensperger said the 101,789 "obsolete voter files" include "67,286 voter files associated with a National Change of Address form submitted to the U.S. Postal Service; 34,227 voter files that had election mail returned to sender; and 276 that had no-contact with elections officials for at least five years."

The secretary of state's office removes voter files monthly for felony convictions and death, but scrapping the nearly 102,000 people from the rolls would be the first major "cleaning" since 2019.

"Making sure Georgia's voter rolls are up to date is key to ensuring the integrity of our elections," Raffensperger said in a statement. "Bottom line, there is no legitimate reason to keep ineligible voters on the rolls."
