Did You Vote in the Last Election?

In an effort to keep our voter rolls current, we follow federal and state laws to remove residents from the rolls. The following is how we determine voter eligibility:

You may have been placed on the inactive voter rolls, if in the past 4 years, you have not:

• voted in any election;
• responded to postcards or letters sent by the Department; or
• have not had any contact with the Department;

This means that:

• you will not receive a Voter Information Pamphlet for future elections, and
• your name may not be on the Roster of Voters at your polling place, and
• you may be required to show proof of residence before a ballot will be issued to you.

Your voter registration will be cancelled, if in the past 8 years, you have not:

• voted in any election;
• responded to postcards or letters sent by the Department; or
• have not had any other contact with the Department;

You will need to re-register in order to vote.

Don't let this happen to you. Either vote, respond to one of our mailings, or write and let us know that you want to stay on the voter roll. If you write us, please include your current residence address, mailing address, your date of birth, and your place of birth.
