A New York appeals court has ruled that court officials must disclose documents containing secret guidance given to judges on how to interpret laws. The decision opens previously confidential internal materials to public view. Civil liberties advocates, including the American Civil Liberties Union, highlighted the ruling, which is being seen as a victory for transparency in the state's court system.

The American Civil Liberties Union has published a guide answering common questions about voting in the 2026 United States midterm elections. The resource covers registration, voting rules and related concerns, and is drawing attention as voters begin preparing for next year's contests that will decide control of Congress and key state offices.
