Hundreds of Republican and independent voters in [Colorado](https://ivn.us/tag/colorado) are among the nearly 4,000 people who have canceled their voter registrations in the wake of the Trump administration’s request for voter information.

The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office [reported last week](https://ivn.us/2017/07/14/co-election-officials-never-seen-exodus-voters/) that 3,738 people withdrew their voter registration between June 28 and Friday, July 14.[Colorado Voters Drop Registration](https://infogram.com/colorado%5Fvoters%5Fdrop%5Fregistration?ref=ivn.us)[Create pie charts](https://infogram.com/create/pie-chart?utm%5Fsource=embed%5Fbottom&utm%5Fmedium=seo&utm%5Fcampaign=pie%5Fchart)

Of those *367* are **Republicans** and *1,255* are **independent** voters.

Just over *2,000* **Democrats** have also canceled their registrations.

While that is a large number of cancellations, they are a minuscule fraction of the state’s 3.7 million registered voters.

The withdrawals began in earnest earlier this month, after a presidential advisory commission on election integrity requested publicly available voter information from all 50 states. On July 10 alone, *1,237* Colorado voters withdrew their registrations.

Another *200* Colorado voters have signed up to become “confidential voters,” a designation that allows their information to be withheld.

President Donald Trump established the voter fraud advisory commission with a mandate to review US election integrity, with a focus on voter fraud, voter suppression, and other “vulnerabilities.”

The effort has been plagued by privacy concerns and distrust from the start. The commission now faces 7 lawsuits.

Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams has said he will provide only information considered public under Colorado law, a category that includes voters’ names, addresses, party affiliations, birth years, and which elections they have participated in.

The commission’s request is on hold while a legal challenge plays out in court.
