DeKalb Voter Alert: Check Your Mail for Official Voter Verification Communications
Approximately 58,000 Voter Verification Mailers Sent in DeKalb During Statewide Voter List Maintenance

DECATUR, GA – Nearly 58,000 DeKalb County voters have recently received official voter verification notices, known as “No Contact” and NGE (No Activity for Two General Election Cycles) mailers, as part of Georgia’s voter list maintenance process. These notices are sent by the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office to help ensure accurate and up-to-date voter rolls.

The “No Contact” mailer, which was initially distributed throughout the month of July, is sent to voters who have had no contact with their county elections office for at least five years. The NGE mailer, mailed in the same month, is sent to voters who have remained in “Inactive” status for two consecutive general election cycles. Recipients have 30 days from the post mark to respond and update their voter registration information to avoid being moved to “inactive” or “cancelled” status. Voters with an “inactive” status can still cast a ballot during an upcoming election. 

“Maintaining accurate voter lists is central to ensuring safe, secure, and accurate elections,” said Keisha Smith, Executive Director of DeKalb Voter Registration & Elections. “If you have recently received one of these notices in July, please follow the instructions provided or contact our office for assistance. Voters can always check their registration status online at the State’s My Voter Page.”

How to Remain in Active Status:
Voters can respond to the notice and remain in “Active” status by:

• Updating their voter registration through Georgia’s Online Voter Registration system or their My Voter Page.
• Completing and returning the postcard included with the notice.
• Submitting a Georgia Voter Registration Application to their local elections office.

Statewide Voter Maintenance 

Voters who have moved out of Georgia can request cancellation of their Georgia voter record through the Online Voter Cancellation Request Portal.
