Voters in two Connecticut General Assembly districts will get to choose their new representatives this week and next in separate special elections.

CONNECTICUT, USA — Connecticut has been added to the list of states sued by the United States Department of Justice for failing to provide full voter registration lists, DOJ said Tuesday. Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas was sued in her official capacity in a suit filed in United States District Court Tuesday.

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division announced Tuesday that it has filed federal lawsuits against Arizona and Connecticut, accusing both states of failing to hand over full voter registration lists upon request.

"This is an issue where the commission and the legislature seem to be in line that there is an area of concern."

Tuesday's election is one of two this month for vacant seats in the CT House of Representatives, each in districts that favor Democrats.

The department has filed suit against 23 states and the District of Columbia for not supplying the information.
