Colorado Removes 372,000 Inactive Voters from its Rolls after Lawsuit
Following the settlement of Judicial Watch's lawsuit addressing Colorado’s compliance with federal voter list maintenance requirements, the state has removed 372,000 ineligible voters from registration lists.
Under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), states must take reasonable steps to remove ineligible voters—such as those who have died, moved, or become inactive—while protecting eligible voters’ rights.
Judicial Watch filed the Colorado federal lawsuit to clean the voter rolls in 2020 on behalf of ourselves and three residents of Colorado. (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Griswold, et al. (No. 20-cv-02992)).
In March 2023, Colorado’s secretary of state agreed to settle the lawsuit and has confirmed that since 2023, the state has removed 372,000 ineligible voters.
This is a major victory for election integrity and a massive step toward cleaner elections.
