relative to candidate requests for absentee ballot information.

This law allows candidates running for statewide office to request a list of people who have applied for absentee ballots. The list will include specific details such as the voter's name, address, party affiliation, and the dates the ballot was requested and returned. Candidates must provide a notarized request to receive this information, and voters who have protective orders against stalking or harassment will be excluded from the list. The rule is designed to give candidates data on absentee voting trends while protecting the privacy of certain vulnerable voters.
