www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Thousands of people on Gwinnett County’s voter rolls who haven’t voted in awhile could be kicked off if they don’t quickly respond to notices the county’s elections office is be preparing to send out.

Gwinnett Elections Supervisor Kristi Royston said about 22,000 voters in the county are set to receive NGE notices — NGE essentially stands for “no activity through two general elections.”

These voters are therefore deemed “inactive” by state elections officials, and are scheduled to be removed from voter rolls if they don’t quickly update their registration information. Officially, the registrations are “canceled” if the voter does not respond.


This is part of a change in how Georgia removes “inactive” voters from the voter rolls, since state law now requires notices be sent out to voters to let them know they are scheduled for removal.

“This is a change to this process that came out of House Bill 316,” Royston said. “This cancellation has taken place before, but in the past, there was not a notification prior to removal.
