RNC Launches Nationwide Review of Voter Roll Maintenance Processes
The Republican National Committee has requested records from 48 states and Washington, D.C., to scrutinize how voter rolls are maintained and cleaned, coinciding with new federal actions on election integrity.
- The RNC has initiated one of its largest election integrity efforts, requesting detailed voter roll maintenance records from 48 states and Washington, D.C.
- The initiative aims to verify that only eligible voters are registered, focusing on removing ineligible individuals such as non-citizens, deceased persons, and convicted criminals.
- This effort aligns with President Donald Trump's recent executive action requiring proof of citizenship for federal voter registration.
- Election officials have raised concerns that these public records requests could strain resources and hinder election preparation efforts.
- The initiative highlights ongoing partisan tensions over voter roll accuracy, with GOP-led states increasingly withdrawing from the bipartisan ERIC system designed to maintain accurate voter registration lists.
