Description

Election administration; lists of registered voters and persons who voted in certain elections. Requires the Department of Elections to provide lists of registered voters at a reasonable cost to any person requesting such lists for political or governmental purposes. Current law permits the provision of such lists only to specific persons or entities. The bill requires persons receiving such lists to sign a statement, subject to felony penalties for making false statements, that the list is government property and is to be used only for political or governmental purposes, and repeals a redundant section related to such statement. The bill also requires the local electoral boards to provide to the Department of Elections within 14 days after the election the list of persons who voted, including those who voted provisionally and were determined to be entitled to vote. Current law requires the list be submitted within 60 days. The bill also contains technical amendments to reflect the administrative reorganization of the Department of Elections that took effect July 1, 2014. Read the Bill »
