Talk:Voter registration

Voter Information is Public Information

Could there be more information provided about voter registration becoming public information? I read on a voter registration form that the information provided would become "public information" and available upon request for a small fee. This information included: Unlisted phone numbers, home address and (sometimes) birth dates and social security numbers.

This information is also available over the internet. In other words, anyone can access this private information. Internet "Spy" websites (designed to locate people) advise stating that the information is being collected for research, even though its being used to locate a certain person or "spy" on a certain person.

Also, states in the US may offer "confidential voter status" for those who do not want their home addresses and private information released to the public.

Removed shameless organization plugs

At the end of the United States section, the text quoted below appeared. Those links are fine in the "See Also" section, but they have no business in the article itself. I'd add them to the "See Also," but I'm not sure how. Someone else can do that if he thinks it's really necessary. "More information on voter registration and voting may be found at League of Women Voters, RegistertoVote.org, or Declare Yourself."
