September once again was a month where routine required maintenance on the voter rolls was performed. During this process, voters were either moved to the inactive rolls or dropped entirely. While the number of active voters dropped, the number of total voters increased. The tables below reflect the active rolls and unlike other maintenance months, the largest impact in September was on the number and share of Non-Partisan.

With four months remaining before the party presidential caucuses; Republican Party leadership has voted to not hold a caucus but rather award all delegates to President Trump, and seven months before the state primary election, voter registration leading up to these events should be a good indicator of interest in the election. The big question remains is what will be the impact of same-day voter registration?
