Maddy summaryThis bill requires election officials to remove candidates' home addresses and witness addresses from nomination and designation petitions before releasing them to the public via freedom of information requests or public publication. It directly affects candidates for public office and election officials who handle these documents, ensuring their home addresses are not disclosed in publicly accessible materials.
