Oregon Removes 1,259 Non-Citizens from Voter Rolls After DMV Errors

Officials discovered the mistake due to a data processing error, prompting immediate corrective measures to ensure election integrity.

The Oregon DMV mistakenly registered 1,259 non-citizens to vote due to data entry errors since 2021.
Of the improperly registered individuals, at least nine voted in elections, with one later confirmed as eligible.
The DMV and Secretary of State's office have taken steps to correct the issue, including reordering drop-down menus and implementing daily quality checks.
Governor Tina Kotek has called for further measures, including updated staff training and a comprehensive report on the errors.
Republican lawmakers are demanding a public hearing for full transparency and to address broader concerns about election integrity.
