On December 18, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the District of Columbia alleging that the District of Columbia has failed to provide information about voter list maintenance procedures and electronic copies of District-wide voter rolls. The lawsuit alleges that the District of Columbia and its Board of Elections violated the Civil Rights Act of 1960 by refusing to produce a current unredacted electronic copy of the voter registration list. The District of Columbia 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.
