Private voter info to become public, but some Utahns, including police, can get exemptions
Utah’s top elections officer says her office is notifying more than 300,000 voters that some of their information will soon become available to those requesting to see the state’s voter registration list and paying a fee to do so.
Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson’s office mailed letters to the voters this week, letting them know about the change set to take place on May 25 under SB153, signed into law last month by Gov. Spencer Cox.
“We don’t want anyone to worry when they see a letter from our office in their mailbox,” Henderson said in a Thursday prepared statement. Those receiving the notices have previously opted in to privacy protections, she added, and she wants to make sure they understand how the shift may affect them.
The Davis County clerk’s office also called attention to the shift this week, saying in a social media post that “very important changes are coming regarding voter registration records.”
