Even though it is your right to decide when you want to vote, hundreds of thousands of Ohioans have been removed/purged – or are scheduled to be removed/purged – from voter registration files at local county boards of elections because of inactivity. More than 17,300 Erie Countians have been removed/purged from the voter files since 2009. You should make it a habit to check your voter registration before every voter registration deadline and before every election.

Former Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R)
and current Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) have purged
voters because they chose not to vote.

In Erie County alone, 17,376 voters were purged in
2009 – 2,184 voters
2011 – 2,584 voters
2013 – 1,603 voters
2015 – 2,923 voters
2018 – 2,230 voters
2019 – 1,112 voters
2021 – 568 voters
2023 – 883 voters and 193 voters
2024 – 785 voters
2025 – 2,310 voters

Again, current Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R)
has continued the purging process.
If you receive a postcard from the Erie County Board of Elections,
