Nevada is one of 18 states being sued by the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit over access to voters' personal data ahead of 2026 midterm elections.

Nevada election officials are encouraging voters to keep an eye on their mailboxes as the state begins preparing for the 2026 election cycle. The Nevada Secretary of State’s Office is sending a new “voter checklist” postcard to every active registered voter,

The suit comes after months of DOJ demands for complete state voting registration lists, which Nevada and other states have repeatedly denied and called intimidation in an effort to influence elections.

The lawsuit argues the U.S. attorney general has “sweeping power” to obtain voter data from states and asks the court to require the release of the data.

The Justice Department is suing Nevada for failing to comply with federal elections laws by not providing statewide voter registration lists upon request.
