DOJ files NVRA voter roll complaints against Alabama and Virginia

In September 2024, the DOJ files NVRA complaints against both Alabama and Virginia, alleging each state retained ineligible voters on its rolls without following legally required confirmation processes under Section 8(c)(2). The Alabama complaint is filed in the weeks before the 2024 presidential election. The Virginia action follows similar allegations. Both actions reflect the DOJ Voting Section's interpretation that states must conduct proactive but non-arbitrary voter roll maintenance consistent with NVRA safeguards.
