Rep. Becky Edwards (R)

HB 348 (Voter Records Amendments)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill would limit who can access the list of registered voters, allowing it to be obtained only by government officials, political parties, or non-profit organizations whose purpose deals directly with election and voter integrity.

Libertas Institute opposes this bill. Those who elect to register to vote utilize their political power to affect others, such as increasing their taxes or decreasing their freedom. As such, their identity must be public to organizations, researchers, pollsters, and more, much like a defendant as the right to face their accuser in court.
