Georgia Secretary of State Trying to Combat Voter Purge Narrative
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is trying to combat a voter purge and change of address narrative ahead of the issuance of change of address notices.
His office issued a press release Thursday:
In the coming days, county registrars will begin sending notices to Georgia voters who have recently filed a National Change of Address (NCOA) request with the United States Postal Service. The NCOA notices, which will be distributed by county election offices, will request that these voters update their voter registration with their new home address.
“Not only do updated voter rolls ensure safer elections for Georgia’s voters, they also cut back on waste and make the registration and voting process far more efficient for voters and election officials alike,” said Secretary Brad Raffensperger. “While this type of regular list maintenance is required by law, it is also the common-sense way to bring every voter a better, safer experience on Election Day.”
Georgia compares voter rolls with NCOA information every two years to ensure that Georgia voters who have moved are registered to vote in the correct precinct and county. This verification is part of the regular list maintenance of voter rolls required by federal and state law.
