Comments on Re: Registration Reminder

So maybe posting e-mail forwards directly to Slog without verification isn't a great idea???

I gotta say, this "inactive" thing is rather confusing. The elections representative quoted on the Slog says "inactive" folks need to call the King County elections office to become reactivated, but the Secretary of State's Web site says the same thing can be accomplished by updating one's address (which can be done online at My Vote):

What is an “inactive” registration?

If an election-related piece of mail is returned by the post office as undeliverable to the voter at that address, the registration is placed on “inactive” status. A voter who is on inactive status may return to active status at any time by updating his or her address, requesting a ballot, or submitting a new voter registration application.

#2:


All it takes to "re-activate" a voter is some kind of contact with your county elections office or the Secretary of State's office.

Voters can become active again by updating their information. They can do that over the phone with their own county office, or by changing their address at the Secretary of State's website, or by filling out a new registration form and sending it either to their county or to the state.

changing my address online didn't work, but calling king county does seem to have made me active.
