Maddy summaryHF 582 requires county voter registrars and the state voter registrar to remove a voter's date of birth and home address from any voter registration list requested by a person. This bill directly affects voters whose personal information appears on publicly accessible voter lists when those lists are requested. The key provision mandates that specific personal details - including date of birth, home address, and other identifiers - must be deleted from the list before it is provided. The bill aims to enhance privacy by limiting the personal information shared in these voter lists upon request. It does not change voter eligibility or registration requirements.
