COLUMBUS Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said Tuesday that over 18,000 inactive voter registrations are back in the state’s good graces after record-high participation in the 2020 election.
The Republican elections chief said that about 10,000 of the flagged voters cast ballots in the Nov. 3 election, which featured the high-intensity contest between outgoing Republican President Donald Trump and his rival, Democratic President-elect Joe Biden.
LaRose said 97,795 inactive voter files were removed in scheduled post-election voter roll maintenance, compared to the 115,816 initially flagged. Ohio has more than 8 million registered voters.
To drop off the purge list, a voter needed to take some qualifying action. That could include election-related activity, such as updating a registration, requesting an absentee ballot or voting. It also could include an expanded list of government activities, such as visiting a Bureau of Motor Vehicles office.
