HB3296

Illinois HB3296 establishes a Voter Safety Confidentiality Program to protect the addresses of certain voters from public disclosure.

Illinois HB3296 amends the Election Code to create a Voter Safety Confidentiality Program. This program allows voters who are elected officials, first responders, police officers, election workers, or victims of domestic violence to keep their addresses confidential. The State Board of Elections will implement this program by removing the addresses of participating voters from any public lists of registered voters. The bill also includes provisions for the handling of vote-by-mail ballots and the maintenance of related lists by election authorities.
