ERIC at Work
ERIC improves voter registration by providing information for member states to contact potentially eligible but unregistered voters with instructions on how to register. ERIC members contact potential voters at least every two years, ahead of any federal general election.

ERIC began providing list maintenance data to members in July of 2013.
