AI Summary

This bill requires the State Board of Elections to appoint a specific individual to serve as a point of contact for the Address Confidentiality Program, which helps protect the personal information of individuals who are survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, harassment, or human trafficking by providing them with a substitute mailing address. This designated contact person will be responsible for answering questions from local election boards and program participants regarding the implementation of this program, ensuring that while participants use their actual addresses for voter registration and absentee ballots, their real addresses are kept confidential and only shared with law enforcement or by court order.
