Under existing law, the residence address, telephone number, and email address of a registered voter is confidential, except that under certain circumstances a county elections official must provide that information to any candidate for federal, state, or local office, to any committee for or against any initiative or referendum measure, and to any person for election, scholarly, journalistic, political, or governmental purposes.
This bill would exempt the residence address, telephone number, and email address of a federal, state, or local elected official or candidate for an elected federal, state, or local office from that disclosure requirement. The bill would require the Secretary of State or applicable local elections official to provide each county elections official with a list identifying each elected official or candidate residing in the county and require the county elections official to make the elected official or candidate's information confidential within 5 business days. The bill would require an elected official or candidate to contact their county elections official to ensure their voter registration record has been made confidential. By adding new duties for county elections officials, this bill would create a state-mandated local program.
Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
