AI Summary

This bill classifies data in the statewide voter registration system. It designates certain personal information, such as a voter's date of birth, driver's license number, and Social Security number, as private data that is not publicly available. The bill also makes the list of voters who participated in a presidential primary election private data, except that the secretary of state must provide it to the chairs of the major political parties. Additionally, the bill allows voters to request that their names be withheld from the public voter information list for safety reasons.
