NCOA Out of State Moves

California has a problem with centrally controlled elections and passing legislation that increases wasteful spending without accomplishing its intended goal.

Three years ago, California became one of eight states to permanently adopt mandatory universal Vote by Mail (VBM) elections by the signing of Assembly Bill 37 into law by Governor Newsom which mandated the mailing of a Vote By Mail ballot to every Active eligible voter in the State of California.

Five elections have been held using mandatory universal VBM ballots. The Historical Registration and Participation reports on the Secretary of State’s website shows that over 59 million of the mailed ballots (54%) are unaccounted for.

Next to clean and accurate voter rolls (the foundation) and cast ballots (elections), unaccounted for ballots have the potential of derailing election outcomes by diminished confidence in large voter blocs.

In addition to the cost of printing and mailing millions of ballots that voters did not ask for and that have gone unaccounted for, issues with voter roll maintenance created by mandatory massive ballot mailings is further aggravated by a population on the move.

From April 2023 through July 2024, a 16-Month effort and analysis of the National Change of Address (NCOA) for voters who had put in a permanent move Out-of-State and were still Active eligible voters in California was performed by 16 Counties in California. This represents 64.8% of the total voting population from 2022.

The following report highlights:

• the election laws from the Federal and California governments that oversee these changes.
• the system that manages these changes.
• the scope of the project.
• the summary of results for these changes.
• undeliverable addresses flagged by the USPS.
• dual-state registrations and votes.
