The AJC reports Georgia Election officials are conducting an audit to locate potential inaccuracies in the state’s voter list.

The Georgia secretary of state’s office announced the review last week that will identify voters registered at business addresses, UPS stores or post office boxes. Those voters will then be required to update their registrations with a residential address — or else their registrations will eventually be canceled. The examination will also flag single-family residences where more than 10 people are registered to vote, as well as voters 105 years old or older who might have died in recent years.

The state will forward its findings to county election offices, which will review them and notify voters. Those who verify their addresses will remain active voters; those who don’t respond could be canceled if they miss the next two general elections, according to state law.
