Registrars Addressing 'Dead Voter' Problem

April 26, 2008

I would like to thank and commend UConn students for their study that = was=20 described in the April 20 article "Dead Voters? Probe Finds Errors In = Records"=20 [Page 1].

The study and Courant article clearly illustrate the = ongoing=20 problem of identifying, confirming and removing deceased voters from the = rolls.=20 On behalf of the registrars of voters of Connecticut, I would like to = assure=20 readers that although problematic and requiring immediate follow-up, the = presence of names of deceased voters is not as serious as implied in the = article.

As the article suggests, we need to review the process = to=20 determine where and how it can be improved.

The study was based = on=20 October 2007 voter lists. Local registrars have spent much time prior to = and=20 following the November election and February primary updating and = "cleaning" the=20 lists. Registrars are currently in the midst of their annual canvass of = voters,=20 a process specifically designed to verify addresses and continued = residency of=20 voters.

Names are removed from the active rolls upon positive = evidence=20 of a change in status or residency. Proof positive is required to make = changes=20 in status. Registrars use several methods to seek out information. When = notified=20 of a voters death, they make every effort to verify the information = through=20 obituaries, death certificate records in the town clerk's office or = through=20 local probate records. There is often a time gap in this information = and, as the=20 article points out, registrars do not have regular access to state and = federal=20 records. The time required to match and verify the information might = lead to a=20 delay in a voter's final removal from the rolls, but the status of these = voters=20 is changed to inactive during the verification process.

When = voters move=20 out of state or town, their former town of residence is not necessarily=20 notified, resulting in only anecdotal information.

Of the 8,500 = names=20 found in the study, more than 25 percent (2,400) are inactive, which = would=20 require a potential voter to present identification prior to voting and=20 reinstatement to the active voter files.

The subsequent follow-up = done by=20 the students appears to have found clerical problems, rather than any = evidence=20 of potential fraud. Connecticut citizens can also rest assured that all = voters=20 are asked to present identification at all elections or to sign a = statement=20 about eligibility prior to voting. The Courant's reporter has been kind = enough=20 to supply a list of the questionable names. This list will be = disseminated to=20 the towns for follow-up. We only wish we had this list earlier to make=20 corrections and provide input to the study other than post-study=20 comments.

Clerical problems do occur. When voters move out of = town=20 without notifying their former town, the chain of information is broken. = They=20 will often remain listed as active voters until we receive corrective=20 information. If that move is out of state, notification is at best = infrequent.=20 Mistakes based on duplicate or similar names or incorrect post-election = entry of=20 who voted is another source of confusion.

We look forward to = working=20 with the list provided to further clean our lists. The centralized voter = database has contributed to addressing in-state moves, but the real = solution is=20 with the voters and their families. If there is a change in any voter's = address=20 or status, notify your registrar so corrective action can be taken.=20
