Registration staff outline Jarvis voter‑list maintenance; backlog reduced but some counts unknown
Loading...
Summary
Fulton County registration staff described use of Jarvis, coordination with GIS and ERIC/GCIC feeds, and ongoing list‑maintenance activities; presenters reported a reduction in backlog from about 53,711 to roughly 13,000 items but did not provide precise counts for some categories.
Registration division staff presented a detailed overview of Fulton County’s voter‑list maintenance processes April 9, explaining how the Jarvis system, GIS audits and cross‑state feeds are used to update records, identify duplicates and flag potential ineligible voters.
Miss Glenn (registration staff) told the board Jarvis integrates data such as National Change of Address, DDS matches and GCIC felony notices and that the division uses dashboard tiles to triage records that require review. "When staff receives an application, the first step is to search Jarvis to determine whether the voter already has an existing record," she said.
Staff outlined procedures for categories of removal or inactivation: felons (GCIC/Council of Superior Court Clerks records placed on a 40‑day cancellation timeline with notice and hearing rights), noncitizens (moved to pending file while verified), deceased voters (county vital records processed monthly) and those identified by ERIC or USPS forwarding as likely moved. She said a new "records to review" tile flags anomalies such as many registrations at a single address, PO boxes and age/date anomalies.
Glenn said Fulton began processing the state’s newly introduced registration review application in January 2026 and that the registration division reduced an initial queue of roughly 53,711 items to about 13,000 as of the morning of April 9. She also described monthly GIS audits started in August 2024 to identify precinct mismatches and duplicate records.
Board members asked how many people work on the task (staff said 14 full‑time employees are currently assigned) and whether ERIC covers bordering states (staff said Florida does not share PII; ERIC membership varies by state). The presenter and board agreed that non‑sensitive overview material could be posted for public information while pages containing personal data should remain confidential.
Next steps: Staff will continue daily processing of Jarvis items, coordinate with cities for address verification before elections, and consider publishing non‑sensitive slides or a PDF to help answer public questions about list maintenance.
