Groups sue Alaska election officials, allege the sharing of voter data with DOJ was unconstitutional 22.04.2026

Voting and civil rights groups, including the League of Women Voters of Alaska and the Alaska Black Caucus, have filed a lawsuit against Alaska elections officials in state court, alleging that the sharing of the state's complete voter registration list with the U.S. Department of Justice violates the state constitution. The lawsuit, represented by the ACLU of Alaska, ACLU Voting Rights Project, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center, asserts that the transfer of personal voter data, which can include birth dates and partial Social Security numbers, infringes upon the right to privacy and due process under the Alaska Constitution. Plaintiffs are seeking to void the agreement and compel the destruction of the shared data, arguing that the Justice Department's plans to flag and remove voters lack adequate notice or recourse for impacted individuals. This action is part of a broader effort by the Justice Department to obtain detailed voter data from multiple states, a move critics fear could be used for improper voter purges.
