Indiana Election Office Sends Postcards for Voter Roll Maintenance

Indiana's Secretary of State Election Division is mailing postcards to over 4.6 million registered voters as part of a federally and state-mandated voter registration list maintenance program aimed at identifying outdated, duplicate, and inaccurate registrations. Voters are not required to respond to the initial postcard unless it is returned as undeliverable, which triggers a second mailing asking them to confirm or update their address or cancel their registration using a prepaid response card. Registrations flagged as inaccurate can only be canceled if the voter does not participate in two successive federal elections, and voters may update their information by mail, in person, or at the polls. This ongoing process has resulted in the cancellation of approximately 800,000 inactive or outdated voter registrations in recent cycles. Secretary of State Diego Morales emphasized that this maintenance is crucial for maintaining clean and accurate rolls, protecting election integrity, and upholding voter confidence. Voters can also verify or update their registration status online at indianavoters.com.
