Georgia election officials credit an embattled voter accuracy organization with helping them identify over 180,000 voters who have moved out of state just this year.

But the state could be poised to end its participation in the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, ahead of the 2026 election after the once-obscure organization became the target of right-wing groups.

Founded in 2012, ERIC initially included seven member states who agreed to share data to identify voters who have moved, died, or who cast ballots in more than one state.
