Correct or Add Voting History in a Voter's Record

Occasionally it becomes necessary to correct an error or add a record in a voter's voting history for a past election. When six weeks have elapsed since the election day, you can make such changes on the Voting History Maintenance dialog.

The user must have the user permission VotersHistoryMaintenance to make voting history changes.

If the election is still being processed, any changes that need to be made should be done to the precinct register or other document where the voting history information is being collected. The correction process described in this topic should only be used for the odd item in a Closed election whose voting history has been finalized.

  1. Go to VOTER REGISTRATION > Voter Maintenance and access the voter's record.
  2. Click the Elections tab.
  3. Do one of the following to open the Voting History Maintenance dialog:
    • If the applicable Closed election is listed on the Elections tab, simply select the election and click History Details.
    • If the applicable Closed election is not listed, highlight the last (empty) row in the list of elections and click History Details. The Select Election dialog displays. Next, select Closed in the Election Status box and clear any other selected statuses, and then select the election from the list.

  1. In the Voting Status box, the current status is selected. Select the corrected status and click Close.

  2. Consider creating an office note to record why you made the change.

  3. Save the voter's record.
