AN ACT CONCERNING CERTAIN VOTER REGISTRATION
INFORMATION
SUMMARY: This act removes a person’s voter registration number and any other
identifiers required by the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) from
the list of voter registration information prohibited from disclosure. Prior law
prohibited disclosure of any unique identifier used to generate a voter registration
record (e.g., voter registration number) and any information added to a record to
comply with HAVA (e.g., registered voters must be assigned a numerical identifier
for database identification under 52 U.S.C. § 21083(a)(1)(A)).
By law, unchanged by the act, a person’s driver’s license, identity card, and
Social Security number on a voter registration record are confidential and
prohibited from disclosure.
EFFECTIVE DATE: Upon passage
