Alabama’s secretary of state is trying to clarify confusion over voter eligibility. The office said Friday that it sent letters to several thousand residents who were incorrectly declared “inactive” on voter rolls. The letter assured people they would be eligible to vote in November and would not be subject to criminal prosecution.

Testimony in court hearings revealed that approximately two-thirds of the voters swept up in Allen’s program were legally registered to vote. The letter also assured reactivated voters that they would not be subject to criminal prosecution. Allen had originally said he was sending the list of over 3,000 inactivated voters to the attorney general’s office for “further investigation and possible criminal prosecution.”At least 159 of the original 3,251 people who received the secretary of state’s original notice subsequently filled out forms to be removed from the voter rolls entirely, according to court filings.
