How to Unregister to Vote in 4 Steps

Registering to vote is typically viewed as a rite of passage, as it is considered a civic responsibility and is one of the most effective ways to exercise your voice. However, there may be times when you will need to cancel your voter registration. If you are wondering how to unregister to vote, DoNotPay can help you through the process.

How to Unregister to Vote

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to cancel your voter registration or to cancel a voter registration on behalf of someone else, you will need to go through your state and/or local election office. There are different options for voters depending on your state, so it's important to understand your options and what is required for each one.

1. Call your state's election office, or visit the official election office website, to find out how to cancel your voter registration.
2. You need to provide your name and some type of identifier (voter number, driver's license number, last four of your social security number, etc.)
3. In some states, you may be able to use an online portal to cancel your voter registration. If you use this method, be sure to follow all steps thoroughly, and screenshot your final screen/save your confirmation number.
4. In some states, you may be required to fill out a form in order to cancel your voter registration. Make a copy for yourself, in case anything happens to the original.
5. Be sure to follow all steps carefully to ensure your voter registration is canceled.

It can be a bit frustrating to contact government departments sometimes just to find out the correct protocol or find out if you have to register yearly. Read on to know how DoNotPay can help you out!

Why Do People Cancel Voter Registration?

There are a variety of legitimate reasons why people may want to cancel a voter registration. While voter fraud is not necessarily a major problem, canceling a registration can protect the integrity of the voting process or give you peace of mind.

Why Cancel Your Voter Registration?

• You no longer wish to vote
• You are moving out of jurisdiction
• You have had a name change
• You wish to make a change of political party affiliation
• Privacy concerns for yourself or household (such as being a victim of stalking or domestic violence)

In many cases, you may only need to update or change your voter registration, so check with the election office to determine which course of action is most appropriate for your situation.

Why Cancel Someone Else’s Voter Registration?

Sometimes, you may need to cancel voter registration for another person.

• The individual is incapacitated and unable to vote or remove themselves
• The individual is deceased

Always find out what the election office needs when trying to cancel voter registration on behalf of someone else.
