Illinois

but occasionally voter rolls get purged. They need purging because people die or move, and it's beyond unwieldy to have multiple names of voters at the same address, when maybe only one or two of them are valid. Maybe you got caught in that kind of a purge. Another possibility is that someone with the same name, or even a similar name, moved to another state and when registering there, a purge notice was sent to Illinois. I'm not even sure that actually happens, but it's a possibility. Or, you may have the same or similar name as a felon, someone who has lost the right to vote, and so you got dumped also. The possibilities are endless.

In regards to keeping old names on the lists, just last week someone showed up at my doorstep from a non-partisan group (forget which one she named) and asked for the person I bought my house from over five years ago. My name wasn't on her list, even though I'm registered at that address. And I know they still have my registration because I early voted at the beginning of this week.
