Roughly 192,000 Wisconsin voter registrations deactivated during routine maintenance [View all]

The Wisconsin Elections Commission has deactivated over 192,000 voter registrations through the legally required four-year maintenance process, according to an Aug. 1 press release.

The 192,369 individuals deactivated had not voted in the past four years and did not respond to mailing regarding their registration status, said Meagan Wolfe, WEC's administrator.

The commission is required by Wisconsin law to conduct voter record maintenance every two years to identify individuals and deactivate their registration status unless they notify their clerk with a desire to remain registered.

Wolfe said maintenance review helps ensure the integrity of the state's voter database. She said individuals whose registration status is deactivated must re-register to vote at their current residence and can no longer vote using their inactive record.
