Georgia election officials are set to begin a mass purge of inactive voters from the state’s voting rolls on Monday. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in October released a list of over 313,000 voters whose registrations were at risk of being cancelled, about 4% of the state’s total registered voters
ATLANTA — Georgia election officials are set to begin a mass purge of inactive voters from the state’s voting rolls on Monday.
Walter Jones, a spokesman for the secretary of state’s office, said the purge would take place overnight Monday into Tuesday. He said the exact number and names of voters removed wouldn’t be known until then and that more information would be made available after. While some of the people removed from the rolls had either moved or died, others were removed for simply not voting in several election cycles.
Critics of the policy say government records on inactive voters can be incorrect, and they argue that a citizen shouldn’t be removed from the voting rolls just for deciding not to participate in elections.
