Georgia begins purging voters from rolls

Georgia election officials could soon remove more than 300,000 names of registrants who haven’t participated in elections for several years from the state’s voting rolls.

Unlike past cancellations, voters will now receive a notice before being removed under a new state law, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Georgia Elections Director Chris Harvey said notifications will be mailed to the last known address of inactive voters in early November. Voters will have 30 days to respond or their registration will be canceled.
