Voter Purge Project Report

On October 1, we released Unnecessary Disenfranchisement: Voter Purges Around the Country, a report detailing our work to monitor and organize against wrongful purges across the country.

Read the full report below for background on the project, our methods, and what we are doing to ensure eligible voters are informed of their voter status as November’s elections draw near.



Voter Purge Project

Did you get a text from us? Public election records show that your name has been removed from the state voter list, which may mean that you are not eligible to vote in this November’s presidential election.

But it’s not too late to re-register!

Register again, and join over 130 million Americans in voting this year. Registering takes just two minutes.

About Voter Purge Project:

We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization committed to protecting eligible voters against disenfranchisement. Through our research, we have identified voters who have been removed from their state’s voter lists – and we want to help them get back on before November.

According to the Ohio Voter Project, which analyzes election data, as of July 1, there are approximately 740,000 voters, ages 18-24 registered to vote in the state, compared to 3 million people age 50 and older.

Based on the most recent population data from the state of Ohio published in 2018, only about 70 percent of younger eligible voters are registered for the November election. For eligible voters 50 and older, that figure is nearly 90 percent.
