ERIC Electronic Registration Information Center:
 The Future of its Value to Prevent Voter Fraud as States Withdraw

May Discussion Groups will cover ERIC – Electronic Registration Information Center

Discussion Groups in May will take up the topic of ERIC, which stands for Electronic Registration Information Center. A group of election officials from seven states founded ERIC in 2012; they believed that “using state-of-the-art data matching technology, a robust data sharing program built on widely accepted information security standards, and an unprecedented commitment to cooperation would vastly improve their ability to maintain accurate voter rolls. It would also have the added benefit of allowing them to reach out to unregistered, but likely eligible, individuals more efficiently than anyone else.

Please come prepared for the discussion by reading the information on ERIC, including FAQs, the list of participating states and other ERIC statistics, a letter from the head of ERIC, and some questions to consider before the Discussion Group, all of which can be found here.
