A new web portal designed to allow Georgians to cancel their voter registration has come under fire after a technical bug caused personal data to display on users’ screens.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the new site Monday with the goal of allowing Georgians to easily cancel their voting registration if they move out of the state, or to cancel that of a recently-deceased loved one.
Users are prompted to enter their first initial and last name, as well as their county of residence and birth date. After that, they are prompted to enter their reason for cancellation and asked if they have a valid driver’s license. If the answer is yes, they are prompted to type in their license number. If not, they are asked to enter the last four digits of their social security number or fill out a form to be mailed or emailed to the voter’s local county registration office.
