Election officials are required to send letters to notify voters of missing information but it's on the voter to follow-up to provide the information. Many people don't open these letters or don't follow-up. Voters need to know that there are simple steps they can take to make sure they are on the rolls and can vote on Nov. 2.

For example, in Miami-Dade County there are approximately 5,000 incomplete voter registration applications pending.

Since January 2004 Las Vegas received a staggering 30,000 incomplete voter registration applications.
