Web-Enabled Voting Rights System (WEVRS)

WEVRS was a Voting Rights Database that contained the names and addresses of voters listed by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) between 1965 and 1983 under the Voting Rights Act. This application was discontinued and removed as OPM no longer uses it nor has authority to maintain these lists. It contains information protected by the Privacy Act and personally identifiable information (PII) and currently only consists of two CDs located in Merit System Accountability & Compliance (MSAC) as the paper version of these documents are now in the possession of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). WEVRS was a Web-Enabled database of the records in those paper documents.
