Inactive Voters

Voters on the inactive list are still registered in Marin County. They can vote a provisional ballot at any vote center in Marin County. See our List of Vote Centers for the full list of days and hours of operation.

However the voter will not receive election mail (ballot, voter information guide, and sample ballot).

Voters become inactive if:

  • The voter does not vote in two consecutive General Elections (which take place in even numbered years).
  • We receive notification from a third-party (such as the DMV or USPS) that the voter has moved out of the county.
  • Election material, mailed to the voter, is returned as undeliverable. Election mail is not forwarded.

Before we move a voter to the inactive list, the voter is sent a notice that their name will be placed in the inactive voter file unless they reply to the notice.
