150,000+ inactive Ohio voters could be purged before election

The Ohio Secretary of State's office has released the names of voters who could be removed from Ohio's voter database on July 22. This can happen when voters haven't participated in elections in the last 4 years or if they moved and didn't update their voter registration address. Occasionally, it might even happen as a mistake, so it's important to check no matter what.

Are you on the purge list? Better yet, verify that you are on the active voter list.

On the purge list? Here's how to reactivate your registration

You must be registered to vote by Oct. 7 to be able to vote on Nov. 5.
  • Confirm or update your voter registration at VoteOhio.gov, by mail or in-person at your local county board of elections.
  • Update or confirm your address with your county board of elections. 
  • Submit an absentee ballot application.
  • Sign a candidate or issue petition that is verified by a board of elections.
