Plaintiffs’ counsel says federal court permanently struck down voter-registration restriction challenged by League of Women Voters
Elias Law Group reported that a federal court entered final judgment permanently invalidating an August 2025 federal policy that barred nongovernmental organizations from helping newly naturalized citizens register to vote at naturalization ceremonies. The judgment followed consolidated challenges brought by the National Council of Jewish Women, Greater New Orleans Section, and the League of Women Voters.
