Voter Privacy Information
Understanding Your Voter Registration Privacy
Voter registration records are generally considered public information, and a list of voters is available to the public upon request. However, state law strictly protects sensitive personal data and provides additional privacy categories for eligible individuals.
Information Never Shared With the Public
Some voter registration information is available only to government officials as necessary to fulfill duties imposed by law. This includes, for all voters:
- Date of birth
- Driver license number
- State identification card number
- Social security number
- Email Address*
- Phone Number*
*Beginning in January 2027, voters may consent to have their phone number and email address shared with their affiliated political party.
Voter Privacy Categories
There are two primary categories of privacy for voter registration information in Utah:
Public Registration
A list of voters in this category is available to the public upon request for a fee. Universally protected information (listed above) is never given out.
Information available to the public includes:
- Name
- Physical and mailing addresses
- Age range
- Party affiliation
- Vote history (which elections you voted in, not how you voted)
At-Risk Classification
Following the passage of SB 153, eligible voters may have their records withheld from anyone other than a government entity acting in an official capacity. Universally protected information is never given out.
How data is handled:
- Personally identifiable information is anonymized.
- Only non-identifying information (city/county, age range, party affiliation, vote history) may be provided on certain aggregate reports.
Who is Eligible for “At-Risk” Status?
Voters who meet any of the following criteria are eligible to request At-Risk designation:
- An individual who is a victim of, or who is threatened with, domestic violence or dating violence
- Law enforcement officers
- Individuals protected by a protective or protection order
- Members of the armed forces
- Public figures
- A person who resides with any of the individuals described above
Note: Failure to provide necessary information (like your name, physical address, and full date of birth) on your registration form may prevent processing.
Verification of Voter Registration Information
Any information you provide for purposes of voter registration may be subject to verification through the USCIS Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program.
