When survivors leave abusive relationships, their privacy is vital for their safety. If a survivor’s new voter registration information becomes public, an abuser could show up at their voting precinct or home address. If you believe the disclosure of your voter information presents a life-threatening circumstance such as an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or exposure to the risk of bodily harm, you may file a request for confidential status with your local county clerk.
