Challenging a voter registration
A voter registration challenge is a way to contest the qualifications of a voter. Any registered voter or the prosecuting attorney's office can turn in a challenge.
There are five different items that you can challenge. The voter:
- Is not a U.S. citizen
- Will not be at least 18 years old by the next election
- Was convicted of a felony and has not yet had his or her rights restored
- Has been judicially declared ineligible to vote due to mental incompetency
- Does not reside at the address listed on his or her voter registration

What happens after I submit a challenge?
The challenge is reviewed by the prosecuting attorney’s office to make sure it is complete. You will be notified if it is not.
If the challenge is complete:
- All information is posted to our website
- We will notify the challenged voter and others that a challenge has been turned in
- We will set a time and date for the challenge hearing
What is a challenge hearing?
A challenge hearing is a meeting to hear the facts about the voter registration challenge and to make a decision on the registration. The challenge hearing is an administrative hearing that is open to the public. It is not a court hearing.
