The Civil Rights Division initiative seeks voter registration data from states to examine list maintenance practices
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a review of voter registration records from multiple states as part of an initiative to examine election system data ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The department’s Civil Rights Division (OCRD) reported that several states have already provided voter roll information or agreed to share records, while others are involved in legal disputes regarding the release of the data. The review focuses on how voter registration lists are maintained, including the removal of outdated records and compliance with federal election laws.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon explained, “We want every American citizen to feel confident in voting and feel confident in the outcome of that election, and that is why we’re undertaking this massive project.”
She continued, “We’re finding tens of thousands of noncitizens on the voter rolls, hundreds of thousands of dead people on the voter rolls, and duplicate registrations between states.”
During the broader investigation, federal officials also announced charges against Mahady Sacko, who authorities said voted illegally in multiple federal elections. Agencies involved in the case include the Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
