HB1084 clarifies what voter registration records county auditors must keep publicly available and what information they can restrict from public view. The bill specifies that county auditors maintain a digital master file with voter registration details, election voting history, and absentee ballot application information, while establishing that certain sensitive information in these records can be kept confidential under specific exceptions listed in state law. This ensures voters' personal information is protected while keeping most registration records accessible to the public during normal office hours.
The amendment narrowed exemptions from public voter registration records by removing protections for elected or appointed statewide, legislative, and federal officials, keeping only protections for judges and law enforcement officers.
The amendment expanded voter registration record confidentiality protections from only judicial officers to include law enforcement officers, and defined "personally identifiable information" to include home address, phone number, and email.
