MI HB5875

Allows victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking to apply to the Department of State for a confidential voter registration address instead of their home address.

Requires applicants to submit a sworn statement of victimhood, a copy of a valid personal protection order, designation of the Department of State as their mail agent, contact information, and their signature.

Makes approved applicants' names, addresses, and identifying information in the qualified voter file confidential and exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, except to law enforcement agencies or by court order.

Requires the Department of State to create a separate confidential voter registration file and notify local clerks 45 days before elections so ballots can be mailed to these voters, processed as absent voter ballots.

Individuals remain in the confidential file for 2 years from approval date and may request early removal or renew their application; governmental entities are shielded from liability for disclosures except in cases of willful or gross negligence.
