Why it matters: Those impacted are urged to re-register if they want to cast a ballot this year.


State of play: Ohio has a "use it or lose it" system when it comes to staying active on its eligible voter list.


  • Those who do not vote, update their registration address or respond to board of elections notices over a six-year period are automatically removed.


Zoom in: Nearly 11,000 voters registered in Franklin County were taken off the rolls.


LaRose says it's necessary in order to clean the voter rolls of those who have moved or died.
