California has removed 3.2 million inactive voters ahead of the 2025 special statewide election, the Secretary of State’s Office confirmed to The Epoch Times in a recent email.

The 3,177,057 registration records were removed between 2022 and 2024, according to data provided by the California Secretary of State’s elections division. With a special election on Nov. 4, “election officials will continue to perform list maintenance activities in accordance with state and federal law,” the office said.
