Utah Voters Consider Unregistering Due to New Public Information Law
A new law in Utah, SB153, signed by Governor Spencer Cox, has made voter information public, leading to concerns among residents. The law classifies details such as name, address, party affiliation, and voter status as public unless the voter is considered 'at-risk.' At-risk individuals include victims of domestic violence, law enforcement officers, military members, public figures who have received threats, or those protected by court orders. The Utah Lieutenant Governor’s Office is working to clarify the law and address public concerns, as some voters are threatening to unregister to protect their privacy.
