Find out if you have been taken off your local voter rolls

[ehrnst]

If you have moved, had your mail forwarded - even temporarily - you may have been removed from voter rolls.

If you have the same name as a recently deceased person, or a recently incarcerated person, you may have been removed.

We had our mail forwarded to a temporary address while we had work done on our house - and I found out that I am not registered, by checking on canivote.org.

This non-partisan project was created by state election officials to assist voters.

5. Do it soon - any forwarded mail sent concerning your registration

will be returned, and you will be taken off the rolls.

11. I did that and was issued a new voter registration card with out asking for one.

My place to vote had changed, but it was a little disconcerting to find that just an inquiry would trigger a new card just a few weeks before the election.

18. If you did this online follow up with a call

to your election office to make sure it is correct just to double check.

19. Thank you for posting this because I found out my daughter was NOT registered to vote!

She moved to a suburb of Chicago last October, registered to vote, received her voting card....and was not on the voters list!

Now she must reregister. Thank goodness she won't find this out when she tries to vote in November!
