Voter Registration List Maintenance:
The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) requires voter registration file maintenance procedures to be conducted every odd-numbered year between January 1st and November 15th. The maintenance procedures identify and remove the names of those individuals who are no longer eligible to vote. The process takes a total of eight years (four general election cycles) of not voting, not updating their voter registration or responding to a previous list maintenance mailing before a voter can be purged from the voter file. A voter can stay on the active voter registration list for 4 years (through two general elections) with no activity before being moved to the inactive list. A voter will then remain on the inactive voter registration list for another 4 years (through two more general elections) with no activity before being purged from the voter file. There are required mailings that must be sent to a voter prior to being moved to the inactive file and prior to being purged from the voter file.
