According to state and federal law, the registrations listed above are inactive and scheduled for removal in January 2027. They are associated with either:

• Individuals who filled out a National Change of Address (NCOA) form indicating that they have permanently moved out of the county where they were previously registered; or
• Individuals who were placed in confirmation status according to Ohio’s 2022 Supplemental Process; or
• Cancellations from records previously flagged for removal after the required four-year waiting period.¹

Ohio’s county boards of elections identified these records and confirmed that the individuals associated with each registration received an initial confirmation notice in January 2023 or earlier. Since then, the individual has remained inactive for at least four years by failing to respond to the notice or engage in any lawfully defined voter activity.²

To maintain the accuracy of Ohio’s voter rolls, county boards of elections are required by law to remove an inactive registration if a registered voter fails to demonstrate that the registration is valid within a four-year period. The registered individual can confirm the registration’s active status by taking one of the following actions:

• Engaging in voter activity, such as voting in the November 3, 2026 general election,
• Updating or confirming the registered address with their county board of elections or the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV),
• Submitting an absentee ballot application,
• Signing a candidate or issue petition that is verified by a board of elections; or
• Confirming or updating the registration, either online at VoteOhio.gov, by mail or in-person.

This searchable database is part of an effort to ensure that any inactive Ohio voter remains registered by engaging in the voter activity listed above before the scheduled cancellation date.

An individual may register again at any time if their registration has been removed due to confirmed inactivity. Questions about this list or process should be directed to your county board of elections, which can be found at OhioSoS.gov/boards.

Note: All county boards of elections identified and submitted this data to the Ohio Secretary of State’s office pursuant to Directive 2026-44. As of August 1, 2026, this list contains data from all 88 county boards of elections. The data is current as of the date it was generated and depicts the inactive registrations submitted to the Ohio Secretary of State’s office.

The list will not be continuously updated to reflect renewed registrations. However, once your registration has been renewed and processed by your county board of elections, the county board will ensure you are not removed from the voter rolls.

¹ These records include (1) new registrations that received an acknowledgment notice from a county board of elections that was returned as undeliverable by the United States Postal Service, (2) past due NCOA and Supplemental Process cancellations, and (3) Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles non-address mismatches that indicate a voter registration may be invalid.
