Florida To Share Voter Registration Data With 28 Other States
August 22, 2019
Florida will become the 29th state to join a national electronic voter registration system to share data with other states.
Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Florida will join the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) as part of his administration’s ongoing efforts to enhance the security and integrity of Florida’s elections. By joining ERIC, Florida will be able to crosscheck voter registration data with 29 other member states in order to identify duplicate registrations and outdated records from voters who have moved or passed away, leading to cleaner and more accurate voter registration rolls.
“One of my administration’s top priorities is protecting the integrity of Florida’s elections, which is why joining ERIC is the right thing to do for our state as it will ensure our voter rolls are up-to-date and it will increase voter participation in our elections,” said DeSantis. “Since taking office, we have been reviewing this issue with Supervisors of Elections. We are confident that by improving the accuracy of our voter rolls, we will reduce the potential for voter fraud.”
In addition to enhancing the accuracy of voter rolls, ERIC also improves voter registration by providing information for member states to contact potentially eligible but unregistered voters with instructions on how to register to vote. The outreach to potentially eligible voters is conducted every two years ahead of each federal general election.

Great Job Gov. DeSantis. Who would want to guess which states don’t want to participate in this improvement to the system?
$63 million. that’s whats reported as made by the state for selling our driver license info. so don’t get in a twist about this voter stuff, nothing is private anymore.
Nice of him to warn us.
