Confidentiality of voter information: cognitively impaired individuals.

Summary

The bill permits a person with power of attorney for someone with a cognitive impairment to apply to keep that voter’s address, phone number and email private. The application must include a perjury‑signed statement that the voter has a cognitive impairment, and election officials must exclude those voters from any public lists. The Secretary of State must report each year on the number of applications and any misuse of the confidential information.
