County was warned about dead voters
By Joel Hoffmann5:24 p.m.Aug. 13, 2014

The Registrar of Voters was informed last year about four citizens shown in county records as voting after they died — people who remain registered to vote to this day.

The four were featured in a U-T Watchdog story last month about ballots cast in the name of deceased citizens.

California law requires county clerks to send a monthly report of death records to their registrar of voters. It also requires the Secretary of State and the California Health and Human Services Agency to collaboratively provide death records for people who died in other counties to registrars.

The office of Registrar of Voters Michael Vu uses those records to remove voters from the rolls, but he said there is no way to determine why the voter registrations for Dixon, Neibert and Stephens had never been canceled. The office no longer has the records that the clerk’s office sent after their deaths, and Vu did not work for the registrar’s office at that time.
