OKLAHOMA CITY (Feb. 26, 2026) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Department of Justice’s request for access to Oklahoma’s voter registration data:

"The integrity of our elections is foundational to our republic, and efforts to identify and eliminate voter fraud are both appropriate and necessary. The U.S. Department of Justice is currently examining election systems and data across the country to ensure compliance with federal law and safeguard public confidence in the electoral process. Oklahoma shares that commitment.

"The state of Oklahoma will fully cooperate with any lawful federal requests related to the investigation of voter fraud. Oklahomans should have confidence that their state remains firmly committed to both election integrity and the protection of personal information."
