This website and the reports here were generated by professional data analysts who are concerned about the state of Ohio’s voter registration databases. Simply put, these databases do not meet basic data quality standards. After years of bringing these issues to the attention of state and local election officials, we’ve seen little progress. Instead the public is repeatedly told Ohio is the “gold standard” in elections. The fact is there are major unresolved issues with duplicate voter registrations, voter registration using unallowed addresses, uncorrected invalid registration and birth dates, and ~200,000 inactive (not voted in 10 years or more) voters registrations that persist in apparent violation of federal and state laws. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and we hope that the additional daylight this website brings to these issues will be an impetus for their correction.

All of the data reports posted on this site are generated from the statewide voter file that is posted to the Ohio Secretary of State’s website each week. We maintain a database with several archives of this data so we can monitor changes over time. In addition, we created lists of commercial mailbox store addresses and US post office addresses and periodically request death records from the Ohio Department of Health. These are real issues that election officials should rectify.
