The Interstate Voter Crosscheck Program is, in theory, an attempt to make updating those voter rolls easier.
The program was developed by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican. Twenty-eight states have already joined and have generated a master list of nearly 7 million names.
Member states upload their voter rolls to the Kansas Department of State, which then compares them with others submitted by other participating states. The result is a report of possible duplicate entries – people who would seem to be registered to vote in multiple states at once.
At the New York Board of Elections meeting today, they approved a pilot test to join the Interstate Voter Crosscheck Program. Pilot counties data, including: first name, last name, date-of-birth, last four of social security number, and if they voted in the general election of 2014, will be used.
The resulting report will be reviewed to determine if the effort to collect and transmit the data is worth the results.
