Most ‘lost voters’ from Latino districts. Massachusetts

“The 7,302 white postcards bearing yellow “return to sender” stickers have been tossed into cardboard boxes and unceremoniously pushed into the corner of the basement office in City Hall.

Election workers pay little attention to them, even though the cards are the subject of a federal lawsuit that threatens to postpone or extend Tuesday’s citywide election. Some say the names on the cards are proof the city has violated the constitutional rights of thousands of its voters. The cards are election notices that never made it to their intended recipients, Lawrence’s inactive registered voters, because their addresses in city records were out of date.”

Please note some (many) sites require registration. Many times it is free.
