COLUMBUS \u2014 Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has issued another warning to Ohio voters about confusing and misleading election information stemming from unsolicited mailings by the groups Ready to Register Inc. and Center for Voter Information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secretary of State\u2019s office has been made aware of recent voter registration mailers that may cause confusion among Ohio voters, including individuals who are already registered at their current address. Secretary LaRose agrees with the stated concerns about similar mailings in North Carolina, which have reportedly included outdated voter registration materials, inaccurate voter data, mail sent to deceased individuals, incorrect return information, and QR codes raising privacy concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese groups claim they\u2019re helping voters, but careless mass mailings often do the opposite,\u201d LaRose said. \u201cThey confuse already-registered voters, create unnecessary work for county boards of elections, and undermine confidence in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

LaRose has previously warned Ohio voters about misleading mail campaigns from outside organizations, including the Center for Voter Information, which has sent unsolicited mailers that mimic official government documents, contain partially filled-out voter registration forms, and rely on inaccurate or outdated data that is often purchased commercially and not sourced through the official statewide voter rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
