To maintain or classify your voter registration record as a protected record rather than a public record, you must qualify and act prior to May 6, 2026.
Following the passage of SB 153 during the 2026 Utah Legislative session, qualifying “at-risk” voters may have their records withheld from anyone other than a government entity acting in an official capacity.
Who is Eligible for “At-Risk” Status?
- A person who is a victim, or is likely to be a victim, of domestic violence or dating violence
- Law enforcement officers
- Individuals protected by a protective or protection order
- Members of the armed forces
- Public figures
- A person who resides with any of the individuals described above
Who is a “Public figure”?
An individual who, due to the individual being considered for, holding, or having held a position of prominence in a public or private capacity, or due to the individual’s celebrity status, has an increased risk to the individual’s safety.
