（KCRA）Sacramento County elections FAQ: Inactive voter lists and registration records explained
萨克拉门托县选举常见问题:不活跃的选民名单和登记记录解释
In less than a month, voting centers across Sacramento County will open for people to begin casting ballots in-person in the California gubernatorial recall election.
在不到一个月的时间里，萨克拉门托县的投票中心将开放，人们可以在加州州长罢免选举中亲自投票。
Vote-by-mail ballots on Monday started to show up in peoples' mailboxes. However, some other, more questionable types of ballots might also have been sent.
周一，通过邮寄投票的选票开始出现在人们的邮箱中。然而，其他一些更可疑的选票也可能被发送。
A KCRA 3 viewer recently contacted us concerned about fraud after getting two voter registration cards in the mail. One card was addressed to "Ben K Legit" and says the voter was registered in June to the "Common Sense Party." Another addressed to "Rick C Clutch" shows another June registration date, but with no party affiliation.
最近，一位kcra3的观众在收到两张邮寄的选民登记卡后，担心有欺诈行为，与我们联系。一张卡片上写着“Ben K Legit”，上面写着这名选民今年6月在“Common Sense Party.”登记。另一个地址是“Rick C Clutch”，显示登记日期是6月，但没有党派关系。
The person who lives at the address said they have no idea who either of these people are.
住在那个地址的人说他们不知道这两个人是谁。
"My wife and I are registered to vote and have lived here for 5 years," the viewer said through email. "We are worried about our security and California elections fraud."
“我妻子和我已经在这里登记投票，并且已经住了5年了，”这位观众通过电子邮件说。“我们担心我们的安全和加州的选举舞弊。”
KCRA 3 took the concerns directly to the Sacramento County spokeswoman for voter registration and elections, Janna Haynes.
KCRA 3直接向萨克拉门托县负责选民登记和选举的女发言人扬娜·海恩斯(jana Haynes)表达了担忧。
What is the system in place to update the voter registration record?
更新选民登记记录的系统是什么？
The county has an active and inactive voter list. A voter is considered active if they are registered and have voted within the last four years, Haynes said.
这个县有活跃和不活跃的选民名单。海恩斯说，如果一个选民已经登记，并且在过去四年里参加过投票，他就被认为是活跃选民。
One goes on the inactive voter registration file until they contact the county and re-up their registration to be put back on the active list. If someone is on the inactive list, they will not get a ballot in the mail.
一个进入不活跃选民登记档案，直到他们与县政府联系，重新登记，重新列入活跃选民名单。如果有人在不活跃名单上，他们将得不到邮寄的选票。
Names on the inactive list are not counted with the number of registered voters for the county.
不活跃名单上的名字不计入该县登记选民的人数。
Can an inactive listed voter still vote in an election if they choose to?
非活跃登记选民如愿意投票，可否仍在选举中投票?
Because an inactive voter won’t receive a ballot in the mail, if they go to a vote center to vote, that is considered re-upping their registration.
因为不活跃的选民不会收到邮寄的选票，如果他们去投票中心投票，那就被认为是重新登记。
With any election, 15 days before election day is the deadline to register to vote in order to get a ballot in the mail. For the gubernatorial recall, Aug. 31 is the last day to register to vote either online or in-person at the registrar's office.
在任何选举中，选举日之前15天是登记投票的最后期限，以便通过邮件获得选票。对于州长的罢免，8月31日是网上或亲自到注册办公室登记投票的最后一天。
However, in Sacramento County, you can still register to vote in person at a vote center on the day that you vote.
然而，在萨克拉门托县，你仍然可以在投票当天亲自到投票中心登记投票。
Is there ever a circumstance where names are removed from a voter list?
有没有一种情况，选民名单上的名字被删除了?
"If they have been registered and do not update their registration, for instance, if they move out of state or we do not receive a death certificate for them, they’ll remain on the inactive list," Haynes said. "But for our purposes, they are more or less as good as not registered because they do not receive a ballot from us when we mail out our ballots."
海恩斯说:“如果他们已经注册，但没有更新他们的注册，例如，如果他们搬到其他州，或者我们没有收到他们的死亡证明，他们将继续留在不活跃名单上。”“但就我们的目的而言，他们或多或少相当于没有登记，因为我们寄出选票时，他们没有收到我们的选票。”
So, is it accurate that they would forever be on a list of Sacramento voters?
那么，他们会永远在萨克拉门托选民名单上的说法准确吗?
"When we say we have 868,567 registered voters right now, that is not inclusive of any inactive voters," according to Haynes.
海恩斯说:“我们说我们现在有868567名登记选民，这并不包括任何不活跃的选民。”
"There are times where we will go through the list and try to reconcile it with Vote Cal, which is the system that the DMV uses to transmit information from us. We will reconcile it with any death certificates that we have. That’s done on a regular basis but if we do not have any change of information from them. We don’t scrub them completely from our records as if they never existed. They simply go on the inactive list to where they no longer receive the ballot information from us and then it’s on them to re-up themselves into the system as an active voter so that they can receive ballot information at the next election," she said.
“有时我们会查看这份名单，并试图与Vote Cal进行协调，这是用来传输我们信息的系统。我们会把它和所有的死亡证明联系起来。这是常规的做法，但如果我们没有从他们那里得到任何信息的变化。我们不会把它们完全从我们的记录中抹去，就好像它们从未存在过一样。他们只需要进入不活跃名单，不再从我们那里收到选票信息，然后他们就可以重新进入系统，成为活跃选民，这样他们就可以在下次选举时收到选票信息。”
What is the total number of names on the inactive list?
在非活跃名单上的总人数是多少?
As of Wednesday, there are 202,875 inactive voter files.
截至周三，有20.2875万份非活跃选民档案。
How often are the voter records updated?
多久更新一次选民记录?
"We do voter file maintenance on a daily basis. As returned ballots/correspondence come back with new addresses that are in-county, we send these voters new VNC cards, and out-of-county addresses are pushed to the new county, and out of state addresses are placed in the inactive file and a change of address card is sent to them to confirm their address," she said.
“我们每天都要维护选民档案。返回票/通信郡回来的新地址,我们发送这些选民新的VNC卡片,和out-of-county地址推到新的县和州外地址被放置在不活跃的文件和改变地址卡片发送给他们确认地址,”她说。
Do you often see names associated with addresses that aren’t accurate?
你经常看到姓名和地址不准确吗?
It does happen. There are a few different reasons why that can happen.
它确实发生了。为什么会发生这种情况有几个不同的原因。
"It’s possible that one of those people did live there at some point and have since become inactive, which is why they’re asking them to renew their registration," Haynes said.
海恩斯说:“有可能其中一人曾经在那里生活过，后来变得不活跃了，这就是为什么他们要求他们更新登记。”
"More likely though it’s possible that they live in a similar area and the numbers on their home address were transposed and the cards were sent there in error based on a data entry error or a voter entry error when they register to vote or changed their address," she added.
更有可能的是：“尽管他们有可能住在类似的地区，他们的家庭地址上的号码被调换了，卡片是根据数据输入错误或选民输入错误发送的。”
Do the names “Ben K Legit" and “Rick C Clutch” appear to be legitimate names?
“Ben K Legit”和“Rick C Clutch”这两个名字看起来是合法的名字吗?
"It’s so hard to know. People have all kinds of different names. They may have changed their legal name at some point. There’s really no way to know if those names are real voters," Haynes said.
“这很难知道。人们有各种各样不同的名字。他们可能在某个时候改变了他们的法定名称。真的没有办法知道这些人是不是真正的选民。”
"If someone has suggested that as their legal name then that’s what we have. I think what’s really important here is to make sure that people are always updating their voter registration information whether it’s because they had a name change due to a legal name change, a marriage, a divorce whatever the case may be," she said. "What we need people to really focus on is that we need your participation to update our voter registration files. We can only do so much. If people move and they never do anything, they don’t get a new ID, they don’t go in and actively change their registration, how can we ever possibly know that they do not live at that address anymore?"
“如果有人建议用这个名字作为他们的法定名字，那么我们就用这个。我认为，这里真正重要的是确保人们总是更新他们的选民登记信息，无论是因为合法的名字更改，还是因为结婚、离婚，无论什么情况。”“我们需要人们真正关注的是，我们需要你的参与来更新我们的选民登记文件。我们能做的就这么多。如果人们搬了家，却什么都不做，没有新身份证，也不主动更改登记，我们怎么可能知道他们不再住在那个地址了呢?”
What if someone gets a card like the KCRA 3 viewer did and already has a registration in their name. Can that person vote twice?
如果有人得到一张卡，就像KCRA 3观众所做的，并且已经在他们的名字登记。那个人可以投两次票吗?
Haynes said it’s not clear if those two individuals would even receive a ballot. They may be on an inactive list.
海恩斯说，目前还不清楚这两个人是否会得到选票。他们可能在不活跃名单上。
"It’s very unlikely that the signature would match in which case we would reach out back to those individuals to look at their signature and they would have to resubmit a signature that matches on file."
“签名不太可能匹配，在这种情况下，我们会联系那些人，查看他们的签名，他们将不得不重新提交一个与档案相符的签名。”
"It also should be noted that trying to vote either twice or under someone else’s name is a federal offense," Haynes said.
海恩斯说:“还应该注意的是，试图投票两次或以他人的名义投票是一种联邦违法行为。”
What should voters do if they get cards like this in the mail that is not in their name?
如果选民在邮件中收到这样的卡片，而不是以他们的名义，他们该怎么办?
Write on the card, "does not live here anymore" or "wrong name" and send it back through the postal system.
在卡片上写上“不再住在这里”或“姓名有误”，然后通过邮政系统寄回。
