FACT FOCUS: Inactive voters on Michigan's rolls are misrepresented in suggestions of fraud

Posts circulating on social media claim that Michigan has 500,000 more registered voters than it has people eligible to vote, an indication of possible fraud

Michigan's voter registration data is being misrepresented on social media, leading to claims of potential fraud in the state. While there are more total registered voters than eligible voters, this includes inactive voters who cannot be immediately removed. The state is actively maintaining voter rolls, with over 800,000 registrations canceled since 2019 for various reasons. Laws ensure voters are only removed after a lengthy process, reducing the likelihood of fraud. The presence of inactive voters is part of robust list maintenance practices observed nationwide. Experts emphasize the rarity of double voting and the effectiveness of systems like ERIC in preventing such occurrences. Voter fraud concerns in Michigan appear unfounded based on available data.
