Evnen set to release Nebraska voter data to Department of Justice
LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) – On Thursday, the Nebraska Secretary of State is expected to release the state’s voter registration list to the Department of Justice.
On Sept 8. 2025, the DOJ sent a letter to Secretary of State Bob Evnen’s office requesting personal information on voters such as addresses, driver’s license numbers and the last four digits of Social Security numbers.
Common Cause Nebraska filed a lawsuit to stop the request, asking the Lancaster County District Court to find that the DOJ request violates Nebraska law protecting data privacy, according to the Nebraska Examiner.
The court is not ordering the release to stop, but the Nebraska Supreme Court has decided it would take up the case.
The DOJ states it needs to make sure voter registration records are accurate and secure.
