Michigan set to purge more than 300K inactive voter registrations in April
The Secretary of State's office is set to remove over 300,000 inactive voters in April.
The primary reasons voter registrations are canceled: people moving from their voting jurisdiction, death, a registration has been duplicated or if a voter requests it.
Michigan has more than seven million active voters. More than 5.7 million voted in the last election.
“This is a milestone for Michigan’s secure and accessible election system,” Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said in a statement. “State and local election officials are constantly working to maintain our voter rolls transparently, accurately, and in accordance with state and federal law. Our diligent efforts to keep our voter file up to date have helped us identify and take action to legally remove over 1.1 million out-of-date registrations from the rolls, while ensuring that eligible voters retain their rights under the law.”
