A voter registration challenge is a way to contest the qualifications of a voter. Any registered voter or the prosecuting attorney's office can turn in a challenge.
There are five different items that you can challenge. The voter:
- Is not a U.S. citizen
- Will not be at least 18 years old by the next election
- Was convicted of a felony and has not yet had his or her rights restored
- Has been judicially declared ineligible to vote due to mental incompetency
- Does not reside at the address listed on his or her voter registration
