Ohio's purged voters can register again

• The state regularly removes voters who died or moved away, but the system also flags those with four consecutive years of voting inactivity.
• Counties sent letters to flagged voters in May urging them to respond by July 22 or else face removal.

State of play: Use this online tool to check the status of your voter registration.

• If you are no longer registered — or never were — you can register online or by visiting a county board of elections office.
• The state website also allows you to quickly update your listed address.

What's next: Eligible voters must register by Oct. 7 to cast ballots in the November general election.
