'We don't want people to be caught off guard' -- Campaign targets canceled WV voter registrations

Are you registered to vote? A West Virginia coalition wants to make sure everyone knows the answer to that question sooner rather than later.

West Virginians for Clean Elections, a nonpartisan coalition led by Citizen Action Group, has mailed notices to thousands of residents whose voter’s registration has been removed because of inactivity.

“We don’t want those people to be caught off guard if they decide they’re really interested in the election this year and want to vote,” coordinator Julie Archer said. “We don’t want them to be caught off guard and go to the polls and find out that they’re no longer on the rolls.”

Since 2016, the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office has removed 408,397 names from the voter registration rolls, said Landon Palmer, assistant communications director for the office. State and federal laws require maintenance to the voter registration database, Palmer said.
