In August, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen announced a plan to remove noncitizens from the voting rolls, citing 3,251 individuals who had registered to vote who were not American citizens.

The Justice Department is asking a federal court to reinstate eligible voters and require Alabama to inform anyone impacted that their ability to vote has been restored.
