Elections staff: voter‑list maintenance underway, SVRS access audit to finish by year end

Elections staff told the Monroe County Election Board on June 5 that voter‑list maintenance is underway and that the county’s annual SVRS access audit has begun and is expected to finish by the end of the year.

A staff member said the voter‑list (voter-registration) maintenance process started in May and is expected to be completed by September 2025. The speaker described postcard mailings as part of the maintenance effort to verify whether registered voters remain at their recorded addresses and to allow voters to update or cancel registrations if they have moved.

Staff also said the annual SVRS (State Voter Registration System) audit — which reviews who has user access to the system inside the county office — began that week and should be completed by Dec. 31, 2025. The audit is intended to confirm that only authorized employees have SVRS access and that seasonal or temporary workers are not left with continued access after an election.

A member of the public asked whether the postcards were part of the voter‑list maintenance; staff confirmed they were. No formal action was taken on these updates; they were provided as information to the board and the public.
