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 expands voter registration record privacy protections to cover elected and appointed state and federal officials, removing their previous exclusion from the confidentiality rules.
The amendment expanded voter registration record confidentiality protections from only judges to include both judges and law enforcement officers, and broadened the definition of protected personal information to include phone numbers and email addresses.
