Bill > S03855

This bill amends the Election Law to authorize the registration records of victims of sexual violence to be kept confidential in certain cases. Specifically, it allows victims of crimes defined in Article 130 of the Penal Law (which covers sexual offenses) to submit a signed written statement to the Board of Elections requesting their registration record be kept confidential due to the threat of physical or emotional harm to themselves or their family or household members. The bill aims to provide additional privacy protections for victims of sexual violence who are registered to vote.
