Kentucky State Board of Elections purges 127,000 inactive voters from rolls

The Kentucky Secretary of State’s office finished a voter purge Friday that cleared 127,000 people from the rolls. Secretary of State Michael Adams says the federal law requiring the purge has been on the books for 30 years.

“We have sent out mailings to voters on our rolls that we have recently believed don't live here anymore, they've moved elsewhere, they've registered to vote elsewhere, it takes time to track those folks down and to contact them. And so we've undertaken that the past three years, and it's put us in position now to remove over 100,000 inactive voters now.”
