A reported 16 states have either provided or said they will provide their full statewide voter registration lists to the federal government, according to a recent Brennan Center tracker that also says 48 states and Washington, D.C. have received requests.

Quick Scoop

That means the best current count is 16 states that have turned over, or committed to turn over, their full voter rolls.

A separate Newsweek report said at least eight states had complied earlier in the year, so the number appears to have grown since then.

What’s included

The Brennan Center report distinguishes between:

  • states that received requests,
  • states that only provided public versions of the rolls, and
  • states that provided the full lists with sensitive fields like driver’s license and Social Security numbers.

The 16 states named in that tracker are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming.

Why it matters

This is part of a broader federal push to gather voter-registration data, and the reporting shows most states have pushed back or provided only limited information.

The issue is still developing, so the count could change as more states respond to federal demands.
