When you register to vote, you trust that your personal information will be protected.

But in Oklahoma, that trust is now in question.

State officials have agreed to hand over a full voter database to the Trump Department of Justice, including names, addresses, birth dates, driver’s license numbers, and the last four digits of Social Security numbers. This comes after the state initially resisted sharing such sensitive information, only to reverse course following a federal lawsuit.

This is not just about one state. Reports indicate that similar requests have been made across the country, raising serious concerns about how far this data collection could go.

Voter rolls are essential for running elections. But they also contain deeply personal information that, if mishandled, could expose millions of Americans to risks like identity theft, data breaches, or misuse.

Even when intentions are framed around election integrity, the question remains: what safeguards are in place to protect this data once it is handed over?

Americans should not have to choose between participating in democracy and protecting their personal information.

This is about accountability.

We call on the U.S. Department of Justice to clearly outline how voter data will be stored, used, and protected. We call on Congress to establish firm limits on federal access to sensitive voter information and to ensure that strong privacy protections are in place nationwide. We also urge state officials to prioritize the security and confidentiality of their residents’ data in any future agreements.

Protecting elections also means protecting voters.

Our democracy depends not only on access to the ballot, but on trust in the systems that support it. That trust is weakened when sensitive personal data is shared without clear, enforceable safeguards.

Sign this petition to demand transparency, accountability, and strong protections for voter data across the United States.
