Ohio Identifies 137 Non-Citizens on Voter Rolls, Seeks Federal Data Access

Secretary of State Frank LaRose initiates voter roll purge, requests citizenship information from Biden administration

LaRose's office found 137 non-citizens registered to vote through BMV data cross-checks.
The identified individuals will receive notices to confirm their citizenship or cancel their registration.
Failure to respond to notices will lead to removal from voter rolls by county boards.
LaRose emphasizes some registrations may be due to honest mistakes or communication barriers.
Ohio seeks access to federal databases to improve accuracy in identifying non-citizen voters.
