Voter Registration Challenges

Challenging a voter registration

A voter registration challenge is a way to contest the qualifications of a voter. Any registered voter or the prosecuting attorney's office can turn in a challenge.

There are five different items that you can challenge. The voter:

  • Is not a U.S. citizen
  • Will not be at least 18 years old by the next election
  • Was convicted of a felony and has not yet had their rights restored
  • Has been judicially declared ineligible to vote due to mental incompetency
  • Does not reside at the address listed on their voter registration
