On December 2, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the state of Delaware alleging that the state has failed to provide information about voter list maintenance procedures and electronic copies of statewide voter rolls. The lawsuit alleges that Delaware and its State Election Commissioner Anthony Albence violated the Civil Rights Act of 1960 by refusing to produce a current unredacted electronic copy of the state’s voter registration list. The Delaware Department of Elections expressed concerns over the rights and privacy of its citizens after the Department of Justice demanded unredacted voter list data, which would contain personally identifiable information such as partial Social Security numbers. Commissioner Albence also cited Delaware law that protects private information. The state provided only data that excluded the more sensitive, non-public information.
