The League of Women Voters of Missouri and the St. Louis and Greater Kansas City Chapters of the A. Philip Randolph Institute filed a lawsuit against the state of Missouri for failing to comply with federal voting rights law that ensures Missourians have access to voter registration.

The League of Women Voters of Missouri and the St. Louis and Greater Kansas City Chapters of the A. Philip Randolph Institute filed a lawsuit against the state of Missouri for failing to comply with federal voting rights law. The law ensures Missourians have access to voter registration and that their registration records are accurately updated. ACLU-MO's lawsuit argues that Missouri's procedure for voters who change addresses is flawed and does not ensure that residents are recieving all of the information they need, and furthermore, that the policy violates the National Voting Rights Act. Voting rights watchdogs Dēmos, Advancement Project, and the ACLU jointly represent the plaintiffs.
