AB 919: Confidentiality of voter information: cognitively impaired individuals.

This bill allows an individual with a cognitive impairment to have their voter information kept confidential if they have a power of attorney holder who can apply on their behalf. The power of attorney holder must sign an application stating that the individual with cognitive impairment has a disability. The elections official must exclude the voter's information from any list or roster. The Secretary of State must submit an annual report to the legislature with the total number of applications received for confidential voter status. This bill imposes a state-mandated local program by increasing the duties of county elections officials and expanding the scope of the crime of perjury.
