Georgia prepares to cancel 455,000 voter registrations
[WashingtonExaminer] Georgia is planning to eliminate approximately half a million voters from its registration rolls in one of the largest registration removals in U.S. history.

Around 455,000 inactive voter registrations will be removed from the state’s registration list this summer, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. More than half of the registrations that are set to be canceled were identified by the Electronic Registration Information Center, which involves 24 states that identify when a voter moves out of state and is no longer eligible to vote, in this case, in Georgia.

"We want to do everything we can within the law to have the cleanest voter list possible," State Elections Director Blake Evans said.

Under Georgia law, voters become "inactive" when they appear to have moved, such as by filling out change-of-address forms. Their registrations can be canceled if they miss the next two general elections.

This is the first year since ERIC began operations in 2021 that voters who have been designated as "inactive" will be removed.

"ERIC is the best tool out there right now, and it gives us valuable information you can’t get anywhere else," Evans said.

Of those whose registration will be canceled, ERIC identified 255,000 voters who moved out of state and are therefore ineligible to vote in Georgia elections, according to the outlet.
