GREATER GEORGIA ANNOUNCES EARLY PROGRESS
IN EFFORT TO SUPPORT ACCURATE VOTER ROLLS
ATLANTA – Today, Greater Georgia announced its first round of corrections to Georgia’s statewide voter rolls. As part of the Election Integrity Defenders Initiative, the group identified more than 7,000 voters whose registrations contained clerical errors - and partnered with local volunteers to submit the registrations for curing with county boards of election.
The 7,000 voters submitted by Greater Georgia were not included in the list of 191,000 voters who are scheduled to be removed from the rolls by the Georgia Secretary of State and may not be subject to Section 229 or 230 challenges due to the clerical nature of their inaccuracies. The registrations primarily contain missing or incomplete voter information. Once corrected, the identified voters will be able to cast their ballots without issue.
“Voter roll maintenance is one of the many important aspects of supporting fair and secure elections in Georgia, and the ability to conduct that process is part of state law,” said Greater Georgia Chairwoman Kelly Loeffler. “Maintaining accurate voter rolls is about protecting the rights of legal voters in having their voice heard in our elections. Just as our ongoing statewide voter registration work does already, this program transcends partisan politics to help ensure voter registration data is current, accurate, and complete so that every legal vote counts.”
Over the coming months, Greater Georgia will continue to review the state’s voter rolls to identify voters who may be ineligible - including those who are registered at a business address, who have moved out of state, or who are deceased. By finding and challenging ineligible voters early, well ahead of the state’s scheduled elections, Greater Georgia will help ensure accurate voter rolls by the time Election Day arrives.
The Election Integrity Defenders Initiative is accepting volunteers and will run through 2024. For more information and to volunteer, click HERE.
