Voter Privacy Statement
Information on your voter registration affidavit will be used by elections officials to send you official information on the voting process, such as the location of your polling place and the issues and candidates that will appear on the ballot. Commercial use of voter registration information is prohibited by law and is a misdemeanor.
Voter information may be provided to a candidate for office, a ballot measure committee, or other person for election, scholarly, journalistic, political, or governmental purposes, as determined by the Secretary of State. Driver’s license and social security numbers, or your signature as shown on your voter registration card, cannot be released for these purposes.
If you have any questions about the use of voter information or wish to report suspected misuse of such information, please call the California Secretary of State’s Voter Hotline at (800) 345-VOTE (8683).
Certain voters facing life-threatening situations may qualify for confidential voter status. To learn more about the California Secretary of State’s Safe at Home program, call (877) 322-5227 or view the California Secretary of State’s Safe at Home web page.
