An Act relative to public information requests

This bill designates voter registration lists, absentee voting lists, and specially qualified voter lists as public records held by the state secretary. It requires registrars to submit copies of these lists to the state secretary, noting that electronic registration data satisfies this requirement for general voter lists. Requests for inspection or copies of these records will be processed under the existing public records law, chapter 66. The changes directly affect state election officials and the public seeking access to voter information.
