Even though it is your right to decide when you want to vote, millions of Ohioans have been removed/purged – or are scheduled to be removed/purged – from voter registration files at local county boards of elections because of inactivity due to moving or haven’t cast a ballot for six consecutive years and have not responded to a mailer to update their registration. Millions of Ohioans have been removed/purged from the voter files since 2009. You should make it a habit to check your voter registration before every voter registration deadline and before every election.
Former Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R)
and current Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) have purged
many voters because they chose not to vote.
The number of Ohio voters purged:
2009 – to be posted
2011 to 2016 – 2 million voters
2018 – 7,500 voters
2019 – 267,00 voters
2020 – 194,00 voters
2023 – 26,000 voters
2024 – 154,995 voters
2025 – 352,389 voters
Again, current Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R)
has continued the purging process.
If you receive a postcard from your local county board of elections,
you MUST update your voter information or you will be purged.
