22K purged from Hidalgo voter rolls

Now, local leaders are encouraging them to re-register by April 9 if they wish to cast ballots in the upcoming spring elections.

"We want to be proactive to find a way to let them know they have been cancelled," said Hidalgo County Elections Administrator Yvonne Ramón.

Those affected by the cancellations are voters who have spent two to four years on the voter "suspense list."
