This is one of many lawsuits filed by the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division seeking access to state voter information. This lawsuit seeks Virginia's statewide voter registration list with voter information. Here are all the DOJ Voter Data lawsuits in the Clearinghouse collection.

On January 16, 2026, the Civil Rights Division filed this lawsuit against the Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Elections in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.  It alleged that it was investigating Virginia's compliance with federal election law, including the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), both of which require the state to maintain and preserve certain voter records. It further alleged that Title III of the Civil Rights Act both requires state and local officials to retain and preserve records related to voter registration and empowers the Attorney General to request those records. On July 15 and August 14, 2025, the Attorney General had requested that Virginia provide its statewide voter registration list and related information; after extensive negotiation, on January 8, 2026, representatives for the Commissioner expressed that the state would not be providing the requested information. This lawsuit followed, seeking a declaratory judgment that Virginia's refusal to provide the election records upon a demand by the Attorney General violates Title III of the Civil Rights Act, and an order requiring the Commissioner to turn over Virginia’s computerized statewide voter registration list, with all fields, including each registrant’s full name, date of birth, residential address, and either their state driver’s license number, the last four digits of their Social Security number, or HAVA unique identifier. 

This case is ongoing.
