Under GA state law, registered voters are mailed a confirmation notice following a more than three-year period of “no contact” with election officials. If voters do not respond to the notice within thirty days, they are designated as inactive — something that does not prevent them from voting and does not change their registration status.
If voters then remain inactive for two federal election cycles, meaning they have not voted or had contact with election officials for at least another four years, they are removed from voting rolls.
In 2016, a Federal Judge ruled that nothing in federal law prohibited the method used by Georgia to determine when to send out confirmation notices to voters. The ruling stated, “maintenance of accurate voter registration rolls is a substantial governmental interest. Georgia’s statute is designed to serve that interest, and it does nothing to limit the vast array of other avenues of political communication.”
Georgia’s law had been cleared for use by the U.S. Justice Department in 1997.
