Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Monday a new program designed to make it easier for Georgia voters to cancel their voting registration.
The portal, which is completely online, allows voters to notify their county registrar of a cancellation request with only a few clicks.
“This is a convenient tool for any voter who wants to secure their voter registration by canceling their old one when they move out of state,” Raffensperger said. “It will also help keep Georgia’s voter registration database up to date without having to rely on postcards being sent and returned by an increasingly inefficient postal system.”
To use the site, voters are required to provide personal identifying information such as a driver’s license or Social Security number. Requests can be made by the voter or on behalf of a deceased loved one.
Previously, voters were required to mail or email a form to the Georgia County Voter Registration Office or the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, and the cancellation could take up to three weeks to process.
