The Supreme Court blocked an order from a federal judge that would have reinstated some 1,600 individuals to Virginia 's registered voter rolls.

Those individuals were removed in accordance with an executive order by Gov. Glenn Youngkin that required the daily purge of self-identified noncitizens from the state's voter rolls. The order brought lawsuits from immigration and civil rights groups, as well as the Justice Department , all of which alleged that it violated the 90-day quiet period mandated by the 1993 National Voting Rights Act .

Advocates are concerned about the Supreme Court ruling causing confusion as voters cast ballots in Virginia -- and nationwide.

For the first time in a presidential election, Virginia voters can do same-day registration through Nov. 5 .

Advocates say the ruling will cause eligible Virginia citizens to be purged from voter rolls just before the election.
