NEW STUNNING FINDINGS—Michigan’s Dirty Voter Rolls Reveal 50,000 Voter Registrants Have ILLEGAL Addresses
This article, part of MI Fair Elections ongoing series on the Qualified Voter File (QVF), addresses the importance of an accurate, complete address when registering or reregistering to vote.
According to Michigan law, voter registrants are required to provide their residential and mailing addresses. An applicant’s residence consists of the location where they live and sleep, so it cannot be a post office or similar facility that deals with delivering mail or packages. Registrants are required to include the necessary information for them to receive mail, including street and number or rural route and box number and apartment number, if any. The law enables each registrant to receive documents for voting in-person or absentee and other official mailed communications. Access to accurate mailing and residential information is necessary for election officials to help ensure free and fair elections.
