The mailing likely came from a political party or voter advocacy group that is using outdated information. Double check the piece of mail to see who sent it. Groups that mail things like the voter registration forms will put the auditor’s address on the form because that form needs to be mailed to us however, that doesn’t mean we sent it. You can also call the auditor’s office and we can confirm the individual is listed as deceased in the voter database.
