Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond has agreed to release what was previously considered private voter data to the federal government.

In exchange for the release of Oklahoman’s voter information, the U.S. Department of Justice agreed to dismiss its federal lawsuit against State Election Secretary Paul Ziriax.

“The State of Oklahoma will cooperate with efforts to eliminate voter fraud and safeguard the electoral process in accordance with the law,” Drummond said in a statement. “We are committed to both election integrity and the protection of personal information.”

The action comes a day after two civic engagement groups sought to intervene in the lawsuit to stop the release of Oklahomans’ protected voter data.
