Voter roll purges are the removal of names from electoral registries, typically to eliminate duplicate registrations or deceased voters. The debate centers on timing: the Trump administration's Department of Justice has argued that states should be able to purge voters close to elections, while critics contend this risks disenfranchising eligible voters and violates federal law designed to protect voting access. A pending Supreme Court case involving Arizona could determine whether states have this power, with significant implications for election administration and voter participation.
