Nearly 58,000 DeKalb County voters have recently received official voter verification notices, known as “No Contact” and NGE (No Activity for Two General Election Cycles) mailers, as part of Georgia’s voter list maintenance process. These notices are sent by the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office to help ensure accurate and up-to-date voter rolls. The “No Contact” mailer, which was initially distributed throughout the month of July, is sent to voters who have had no contact with their county elections office for at least five years. The NGE mailer, mailed in the same month, is sent to voters who have remained in “Inactive” status for two consecutive general election cycles.
