Assistance to Update Voter Registration Information
- Some voters received an Assistance Requested Update your Voter Registration Information form in the mail, these voters are still eligible to vote. Voters received this form because BOE does not have a validated driver’s license number or last four digits of a Social Security number in your voter record. When voters register and provide these numbers, election officials try to match them against the DMV or Social Security database, and we do not have a number for you that matches. Also, if you registered a long time ago, these numbers may not have been required to be provided at the time. This letter does not mean your registration is incomplete.
- This information is needed to validate your driver’s license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number to your record helps us more easily locate and update your record in the future, like for a name or address change. For example, if you move from one county to another, this ensures your voter profile follows you to the new county when you register to vote there and helps prevent duplicate registrations for the same voter. This is one of the many ways we promote election integrity.
