Ohio is removing 12,000 voters from its rolls and another 350,000 registrations are on the chopping block. Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced June 11 that nearly 12,000 registrations that belong to people who have registered and voted in other states for the 2024 general election are being removed from Ohio's rolls. The Ohio Secretary of State's Office of Data Analytics and Archives identified the registrations through multi-state data-sharing agreements.

Voters on that list have until September 2025 to maintain their registrations. The 350,000 represents roughly 4.3% of the 8,159,946 registered voters Ohio had for the 2024 general election.
