Oklahoma voter data settlement reached

Oklahoma voter data settlement reached with DOJ

An Oklahoma voter data settlement has been reached between the state and the federal government to resolve a lawsuit over election records.

Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced Oklahoma will provide full, unredacted voter registration data to the U.S. Department of Justice, according to Bloomberg Law News.

The agreement ends a federal lawsuit involving Oklahoma and other states over access to voter information.

Oklahoma voter data settlement includes full records release

The Oklahoma voter data settlement requires the state to turn over detailed voter information within five business days.

This includes names, dates of birth, residential addresses, driver’s license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers, as outlined in The Oklahoman.

State officials previously withheld portions of this data due to privacy concerns.

Privacy concerns follow Oklahoma voter data settlement

The Oklahoma voter data settlement includes provisions requiring the DOJ to follow federal privacy laws when handling the data.

Officials say the information will be used only to assess compliance with federal voting laws, including the National Voter Registration Act, according to Oklahoma Voice.

The agreement also led to the dismissal of the federal lawsuit against Oklahoma election officials.
