In the United States, voting is optional.
Citizens aren’t required to cast ballots.

For the latest story in our series “Uncounted” — the ballots rejected in Georgia’s 2018 midterms — WABE reporter Johnny Kauffman looks at the controversial purging policy.
This is part of an investigation by WABE and APM Reports.
