1-2-227. Custody and preservation of records. (1) (a) Registration records must be
left in the custody of the county clerk and recorder, who is responsible for them. Except as
provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection (1), the oaths or affirmations, applications for
affidavit registration, federal postcard applications, applications for change of residence or
change of name, and other papers provided for by this part 2 shall be preserved by the county
clerk and recorder and shall not be destroyed until after the next general election. Such
registration records, whether paper or digital, are public records subject to examination by any
person, and such person has the right to make copies of the records during office hours.
(b) A county clerk and recorder may destroy paper voter registration records as soon as
they have been digitally recorded in the statewide voter registration system.
(2) The voter information provided by a preregistrant who will not turn eighteen years of
age by the date of the next election shall be kept confidential in the same manner as, and using
the programs developed for, information that is kept confidential pursuant to section 24-72-204
(3.5). Nothing in this subsection (2) shall be construed to require any request, application, or fee
for such confidentiality. When the preregistrant will be eighteen years of age on the date of the
next election, such information is no longer confidential under this subsection (2).
