ROV receives information on deceased voters when notified by the Department of Public Health, the Secretary of State, or third-party notifications, such as the spouse of the deceased, and when notified, ROV processes this information.

By law, ROV sends a notification to voters who have been identified as deceased, serving a prison term for a felony conviction, or those found mentally incompetent to vote 15 to 30 days prior to cancellation. If a signed response from the voter is not received, the record will be cancelled after the response period has passed.

If you receive a ballot at your address for someone who does not live there, please write “Not at This Address” on the envelope and place it in the outgoing mail.
