Under Section 18.005 of the Texas Election Code, a person’s name, date of birth, and voter identification number are public information. Additionally, what elections you voted in (but not how you voted) is also public information. The county registrar (and the Secretary of State’s office) are required by law to respond to a request for public information. While all voters can request that their information be suppressed from the web, a voter’s information will still remain subject to disclosure under the Public Information Act.
Some individuals may be eligible for address confidentiality based on their occupation or status as a victim of certain crimes. Individuals who are eligible for address confidentiality based on their occupation or status as a victim of certain crimes must apply for address confidentiality with the applicable program, agency, or department and file certain documents according to the requirements of the program, agency, or department.
For information on General Confidentiality or confidentiality available to certain voters through the Alternate Address Program, Confidentiality for Peace Officers and Other Government Personnel, Confidentiality Affidavit, Address Confidentiality, Confidentiality for Victims of Certain Crimes, or the Attorney General Address Confidentiality Program, please see our pages on Address Confidentiality and our advisory on Registering a Voter who is Part of a Confidentiality Program.
