Student Voter Data Protection Act

The Student Voter Data Protection Act amends the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act to restrict how postsecondary institutions handle student data related to voting. It prohibits colleges from disclosing personally identifiable information, including directory information, for the purpose of measuring voter registration or turnout without obtaining prior written consent from the student. Additionally, the bill bans any postsecondary institution from selling a student's education records or directory information without explicit written permission. Institutions that violate these rules would lose access to federal funds under applicable programs.
